Changing the Time Zone

The default time zone on your server is set to be the same as the System Time. System time is the time zone that the operating system uses, in this case, GMT. You can change the time zone your server uses to be different from System Time by following these instructions:

1. Connect to your VPS v2 via SSH and su to root.

2. From the SSH prompt, run the following command:

   # vinstall timezone

3. Select a Region from the list provided by typing the number of that region at the prompt.

4. Select a location within the time zone you want to use on your server from the list.

5. Once you have selected your time zone, run the following command to confirm that your VPS v2 is using the correct time zone.

   # date

   You should see the current time and date displayed, indicating the appropriate time zone abbreviation.

6. Once you are certain your VPS v2 is using the right time zone, you will need to reboot your VPS v2 so that the system logs and your services (including HTTP and Cron) will begin using the correct time zone.
