A minor time zone problem?

I happened to be in the System Information module and noticed the following:

mojoPortal Version 2.3.6.6 MSSQL

Operating System Microsoft Windows NT 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1

ASP.NET Info v4.0.30319 Running in Full Trust

Server Time Zone Pacific Daylight Time

Server Local Time (GMT -7) 6/2/2011 8:37:38 AM

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT/UTC) 6/2/2011 3:37:38 PM

On the Settings page, I have it set to GMT-5; shouldn't this server timezone reflect that?

Thanks, guys!

Duane

Re: A minor time zone problem?

No, the server time zone is according to the time as configured on the machine (ie the operating system). The server time zone is only shown for information it does not affect the site unless the clock on the server is not correct for the time zone it is configured for.

Times are stored in the database as UTC, and adapted to either the time zone from site settings or for authenticated users it is adapted to the user time zone in most features.

Hope that helps,

Joe
