Having a time issue on my website

Down at the bottom my site is showing it is set for GMT -5 with the correct time. However, message post times seem to be way off.. almost 7 hours off. Any idea what would cause this? I just posted a message on my site and site time is showing 5:53pm however the message post time is showing Today at 12:13pm.

For guests it shows GMT -4 on your forums.

If the date & time options in the admincp is set for GMT -5, then you most likely have a server issue, the DATE cmd would tell you what the server is set to via ssh.

You can slap this in a php and upload it via ftp and tell us what the server date & time is.

Code:

<? print(Date("1 F d, Y")); ?>

Snakes most likely typed up the wrong code, use this instead:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php print(date('r')); ?>

It looks like vBulletin is not compensating for the timezone of the server somehow. If you are running PHP 5.2+, try adding this to the end of your config.php:

PHP Code:


		
			
date_default_timezone_set('GMT');

I added that piece of code and it seems to have fixed it. Thank you very much! :)
