Likely you're on a system which requires TZ be in the environment with the 
correct value for things not to run in GMT, and Apache is started without 
it (at boot time?).  Try editing the script which starts Apache to export 
TZ with the correct value (e.g. "TZ=EST5EDT export TZ").

Most systems with zoneinfo support (this includes Solaris, *BSD, and Linux, 
and likely others) will handle this correctly if properly configured.  Make 
sure they're all looking in the same place (Red Hat moved the zoneinfo 
stuff between RH4 and RH5, for example) and that the local timezone is 
hard- or sym-linked (or even copied; depends on the system) to 
"posixrules".  Some systems may also want /etc/localtime to also be a link 
to or copy of the local timezone's zoneinfo file.
