Hello,

I'm using FreeBSD 6.1.
When I SSH into the server and check the date/time with $ date
it return the same as my local/date time (Amsterdam GMT+1)

Now when I check one of the options: "Apache Usage Log Full Usage Log 10 lines 100 lines" log time is ok.

when I ftp into /domains/abcde.com/logs/ the log file contains date/time in the future.

I use webalizer to view log files.

Do you use ntpdate or any program to keep your time up to the standards?

Try command: ntpdate otc1.psu.edu

You can also put the following in /etc/rc.conf

ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpdate_flags="otc1.psu.edu"
 
I'm notting using ntpdate.

I think that it is a setting in webalizer.conf somewhere. Only where to find it :(
 
This is a snip from my full usage log:
87.210.17.197 - - [22/Feb/2008:18:19:19 +0100]

When I go to webalizer for the same domain first of all it says:
Generated 23-Feb-2008 00:30 CET, basiclly webalizer is working in the future. Why is it reporting CET?

Thanks
 
local time is: feb 24 00:03:00 GTM +1

date command: Sun Feb 24 00:03:32 CET 2008

So basicly my server is set to the wrong time zone? Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. How can I correct that

Thanks for the help.

Unfortunatly it seems i'm confusing things. I'm in Amsterdam which is CET
Central European Time. CET is GMT(UTC)+1

So basicly both times in my previous post are the same.
:confused: :confused:
