Setting the time

[charles]

You cannot set the time in your VPS as its is maintained on the physical server (all VPSs have the same time). You can however change your timezone if you need to.

If you still think the time is wrong, please contact support and make sure they didn't forget to enable ntpd when setting up the server :)

Please do following step to set GMT time.

1) Login into your server using SSH

2) Please create a symlink using following command.

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT /etc/localtime

3) date

Should see the new time based on your new zone which is in our case GMT


Also browse /usr/share/zoneinfo/ for more zones.
