Question

Difference in CF time and actual server clock

Does anybody have any idea why my server vs CF time would different?

If it's 9am on the server and I output createodbcdatetime: #createodbcdatetime(now())# I get 10am , a one hour difference

After posting this I noticed that the time zone was saying it was not set, I can't remember the exact message something to do with it being invalid, when I opened it up, it did go straight to the right one, I ok'd it anyway and it set it correctly.

This did not fix the problem, so I rebooted, and now it's showing the right time, whether it was a reboot that was required, or it was the time zone issue and then it needed a reboot, I don't know.

Thanks

Mark

You could try setting CFadmin > Server Settings > Java and JVM > JVM Arguments - to your time zone even though the server says it's region is correct. Mark in my case example JVM.CONFIG:

# Arguments to VM

java.args=-server etc -Duser.timezone=Australia/Brisbane -Dcoldfusion.etc

All I have in mine is

-server -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:+UseParallelGC -Xbatch -Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home}/../ -Dcoldfusion.libPath={application.home}/../lib

Since I've done the reboot etc, it seems to be ok, so I'm going to keep my eye on it and see if it decides to change itself again, I swear it was right at some point
