Question

ColdFusion did not adjust for Daylight Savings Time change

Both my 8 and 11 machines did not adjust for DST over the weekend. The computer times look ok, but CF times are still an hour behind. We've restarted the server, which did not fix the problem. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

For some unfathomable reason, I had hardcoded in the offset for my time zone, which, of course, changes when DST changes. I am now using the beautiful CFC found here: timeZone.cfc testbed to check my info and create TZ offsets.

Do you have ALL CF Server updates/hotfixes applied?  I don't _know_ that any CF updates included the new rules for DST changing; but that's the first thing I'd check, if it were my system.

What web server are you using?  Built-in, Apache, IIS?  Could there be a setting in there that might affect the DST difference?

Just off the top of my head.
