Time Offset by 6 hours?
 

OK, I think I can solve most problems, but this one has be baffled :erm:

All was working fine. I *did* restart MySQL last night, after tweaking 1(!) setting:

I increased sort_buffer_size=512KB to sort_buffer_size=1M

This morning I noticed that these times are off by 6 hours:

You last visited xxx
Post time (shown on new posts & replies)

The forum time shown at the bottom are correct (in my case All times are GMT +1. The time now is xxx).

Checked server time

That's correct.

Check MySQL time

Both Apache & php.ini are set to the correct time zone

php.ini

httpd.conf
What am I missing? I've been running my forum for about 2 weeks on this new server (and years on the old one). I had been tweaking MySQL for the last while and restarted previously, no problems until this morning...

Did you check your own timezone setting in your profile?

Yea, sorry, forgot to say, all users are seeing the same. I'm thinking it is a cookie problem, but no idea where that came from...

The default time setting.

?

You mean Default Time Zone Offset?

Has no influence. Like I said, the time shown at the bottom of the forum is correct.

OK... I disabled all plugins on my test forum (by un-commenting define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); ) that solved the problem.

Which still begs the question where the problem lies and what made it surface, so now I'll have to start checking the individual plugins.

Only thing I did in the last few days was adding plugin code to allow for 'local' invocation of my ad server, so I'll check if that's somehow messing with the cookie...

OK, it is the local invocation code that's messing up things... now I got to find out how to get it fixed, preferably without returning to the Javascript tags...

I wish there was a better option for ad serving then OpenX. What a bunch of incompetent XXXXX Seems I run into a bug that's been reported to them way back in 2009 & never fixed. Found my solution here: http://forum.openx.org/index.php?sho...ndpost&p=71370

Thanks OpenX, for wasting a day of my time!
