Server Time Correct, WHMCS not

[John.C.Reid]

I have done a search and did not find an answer that helped.

 

When I log into the server via SSH and type date the response back shows the correct time and timezone. There is no php.ini override in place, but the WHMCS install appears to be stuck on UTC.

 

Since all me searching keeps bringing me back to server time, I am at a loss at how to correct this.

 

Thank you in advance, you help is much appreciated.

You can set this in your configuration.php file in the root folder of your WHMCS install.

 

 

Add

date_default_timezone_set('America/Toronto');

 

*Changing America/Toronto to the timezone you desire.

This is likely happening because you've got the php date set in a different timezone than your WHMCS install

If WHMCS is the only thing going on, then the above post will work.

IF you've got other things in your server, then you need to establish a default date/timezone that is appropriate in the global php.ini file. Otherwise, this will happen continually

Hi,

You can check the Utilities > System > PHP Info page in your WHMCS Admin area. This will show you which configuration file is loaded for the WHMCS installation and also the 'Default timezone' value in that php.ini file.

 

You'll now know which PHP configuration to edit and set the appropriate timezone setting to match your server's time.

Mine was running 4 hours ahead! Tks for this topic and the solution.

It would be a good idea to be able to configure WHMCS time in the admin, like WordPress does. Here's a suggestion for a future version.

It might be a good idea, but they'd be better off fixing bugs than adding new features right now
