Acorn Clock?

[SF]

It seems to be an hour forward to me? look at the post time?

 

[ScottJ]

Ahh, that means were ahead of the game on Acorn Domain
The server is an hour fast, surely didn't update with BST

 

[Admin]

Well spotted, I have emailed my hosting co.... as changing things in VB doesnt correct it.

 

[uglygit]

did'nt even know there was a clock at the footer, gonna have a look around see what else there is.

 

[Admin]

Any ideas how to correct it? Hosting company says the server is ok

 

[SF]

It will be as scott says the time on the server

admin,

what timezone do you have specified in vbulletin options (Default Time Zone Offset) ?

 

[ScottJ]

I have a vbulletin forum and it's date/time is fine tonight, there must be a simple script you can get that can check the server time/date to verify what it is set as.

In VB reg'd users set their own timezone and by default it is adjusted for british summer time.

admin,

what timezone do you have specified in vbulletin options (Default Time Zone Offset) ?

Ive set VB to GMT plus DST

 

[uglygit]

hmmm,

same settings as mine, my clocks right, the server time must'nt be right , is it hosted in the uk?

 

[Admin]

Yes it is in the UK

 

[uglygit]

I don't know what else it could be , if they've come back to say the server time is correct. you could do a test

send an email to a fictitous address at the hosting account i.e. [email protected]

when it bounces back have a look at the headers to to see their server received time (usually the servers are all kept in time sync)

I would bet a £1 server time is wrong

Do you have ssh access. If so ssh in and do 'uptime' 'top' or even 'date' will tell you the servertime. Even then you'd need root permission to change it.

I would just put in another support ticket and hope you get someone who will actually have a look rather then fob you off

 

[SF]

It seems to have gone forward again??

 

[Admin]

I am waiting for my hosting company to learn to tell the time and correct it

 

[aquanuke]

Looks fixed now

 

[Admin]

at last! , they took their time
