Question

ColdFusion time is wrong

This is on an old system that I am working on updating to CF8. Right now it is on a JRUN4 server with CFMX6.1

Today I got complaints that the time was wrong. I looked and sure enough CF is saying the time is 10 hours ahead of the server time. This suggests to me the GMT has gone to 0 since I'm in Hawaii with a GMT -10.

My question is, how do I change the GMT on the JRUN server?

    Dinghus - this is one of the many embarrassing situtation with CF product management. The first occurance of this issue can be found as way back as 2003. In other words since 8 years some of the fundamental requirements of a professional application server setting is still not fixed.  You can find endless discussions back and forth in the Internet - no real answer other than rebooting it after several changes, some complicated hacks or other absurd recommendation.

    I'd consider it an 8 year old bug and hope it will be fixed once.

    Hang on.  Dingus is experiencing this on CFMX6.1 which was released in 2003 and has been end-of-lifed for years.  Do any of these endless discussions on Internet relate to still-supported versions of CF?  (not a rhetorical question).

    And by the sounds of it, it's a Java issue, not specifically a CF one anyhow (based on Paul's response in the other thread), so your anguish is perhaps a bit misdirected in the first place.

    @Adam - this is not an excuse but even worst as today version 9 has still the same issue. We just configured a few of those beasts and one just doesn't want to accept the server time. Now - is Adobe asking me to mess with the inner guts of the server to fix it? I know that many hackers love to those kind of "fixes" but not me. 

    @Charlie - thanks for sharing the note. Tried it and failed as well.

    I probably have to do the change time and restart several times, maybe shut down the entire server. But this is painful if you have a million users from around the world on it.
