1- When did you installed the hack (date and time)
2- What time it is now (date and time)
3- Have you set timeset variable?
4- Run this query and tell me what it returns:
SELECT leftdate from timetick where action='birthday';

5- What did you set your server load variable to? What's your estimated daily visitor number of index.php?

6- Are you aware that hack does not greet at exactly 12.00 am, but it will greet at a random hour after midnight, depending on your visitor number you set?

You are missing the point that hack will start greeting birthdays the day after you installed the hack ie 13.6.2002 for you.. It's written in the instructions..

if I manually change the date to 11 in mysql database, will it run it today? I am anxious to see this at work...

You probably didnt set the timeset variable correctly and although you it's 11.00 AM to you, it's 00.00 AM for your server..

Considering the fact that you have very high number of visitors in your server, numbers like 30 or 5 makes no difference for you. The hack will run VERY VERY close to midnight in your board with these numbers..

k, I changed it to yesterday, set the load value at 15, had 36 visitors since and I did a few refreshes of index.php.... well, I guess I'll wait a little...

Code:

## Time difference between the time zone you and your server's time. 

## Set is as a positive or negative number such as -3, +5 etc.

$timeset=-8;

ok...Then maybe clear this up. Would it not always be set at zero then if you want it to run per the serers time? I have it set for -8 which is the time offset for GMT as the forum is set. So..Seeing the server is Calf....What should it be? Boy...it sure seems simple....but guess not.

This clarifies why it greeted at 11.00 am..

It's "Time difference between the time zone you and your server's time." NOT "difference between your server and London".

So if server is in California and so do you, set it to 0.

By setting it to -8, you programmed the hack to start greetings at 8.00AM server time. Since it greeted at 11.00 AM, may I assume that you live somewhere that has 3 hours difference with California? ;)

All times are GMT. The time now is 11:57 PM.
