If you are hosting in a different time zone and would like to change the server’s time zone please do the following:
If you have PHP running as a CGI module
- Check if your cgi folder or root folder has a file called php.ini, if no, then use your notepad to create one and have it uploaded to your root/cgi folder
- add “date.timezone = America/New_York” (without quotes) to your php.ini then save the file
If you have PHP running as an apache module
- Check if your root folder has a file called .htaccess, if no, then use your notepad to create one and have it uploaded to your root folder
- add “SetEnv TZ America/Los_Angeles” (without quotes) to your .htaccess then save the file
Please change America/New_York or America/Los_Angeles to your specific time zone. To see the list of the time zones, please click http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
