[rt-users] Time in logs not matching system time

[Kimberly McKinnis]

Isn't Chicago GMT -5? RT will always log in UTC no matter what you do, but setting the timezone effects the user interface.

I have basically the same problem with the log 5 hours ahead. (I am CDT)
I have a RHE Linux 5 system.
I have tried both of these in the RT_SiteConfig.pm without any change:

Set($Timezone, 'US/Central');
and
Set($Timezone , 'America/Chicago');

Interestingly, when httpd first starts up the log has the correct time,
but as soon as it uses RT, the
timestamp changes ahead 5 hours.
The name change occurs right after the last Apache 2.2.3 info notice
about when the server was
built.

All,

    I am seeing a time in the rt log file that is 4 hours in advance of the system time  (system time is EDT).


IE

root at MyHelpDesk:/opt/rt3/var/log# date
Fri Sep 25 11:38:41 EDT 2009
root at MyHelpDesk:/opt/rt3/var/log# tail -f rt.log

[Fri Sep 25 15:39:58 2009] [info]: RT::Authen::ExternalAuth::LDAP::GetAuth External Auth OK ( HSCIDM_LDAP ): slander (/opt/rt3/local/plugins/RT-Authen-ExternalAuth/lib/RT/Authen/ExternalAuth/LDAP.pm:139)
[Fri Sep 25 15:39:58 2009] [warning]: disable (/opt/rt3/bin/../lib/RT/User_Overlay.pm:1142)

So, the system time is 11:38, while the log time is 15:38 (ok, 15:39...)


My Rt_SiteConfig.pm has    Set($Timezone , 'US/Eastern');

Any one have any idea how to sync these up?

Thanks
