GreenValueHost, Time in OpenVZ container![resolved]
Hello,
I bought two VPS in GreenValueHost. (the Netherlands).
When I type the command "date"
I have this result:
Sat May 10 00:51:39 BST 2014
**
Normally I must have:**
Fri May 9 16:51:39 BST 2014
BST= British Summer Time (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Summer_Time
The problem is that I can not change the time on the VPS, as it is defined by the server.
I opened a ticket, but I still do not have an answer.
Do you have another solution?

Change your timezone
You can't do anything about it, except wait for them to fix the time on the node.
You can't change the time but you can change your timezone.

Offsetting the time this way, if the minute is correct, may allow you an easy workaround.
Thank you, I was on 99.99%

@comeback Mid if I edit the title to something less GVH-related?
I did not understand.
Can you give me an example of a title?
"Time in OpenVZ container"
Works for me.
But it's a GVH competency ptoblem, so...?
As far as we can tell, the OP hasn't raised a ticket, so I'd rather not give them the publicity unless it gets to the point they can't fix the issue.
Of course I opened a ticket for several hours!
And the response was?
I just received the response GreenValueHost
Do I smell a new GVH drama thread?
"We've never heard of NTP, but we'll google it right after algebra class is done and we finish our homework."
The problem is that time of VPS, is defined by the server.
For example the command
I have this error message
With WHM / Cpanel I can synchronize the time in WHM.
When I do, the time is right when I click.
When I look after it is false.
This is the server time which defines all.
We can not do anything
Well then in that case just ask them to grant you the ability to control the node's time. If they don't see a problem with wrong time, you can just fix it for everyone
Right. They need to use NTP on their server.
They probably don't know what NTP is.
@raindog308
That was awesome!
Thanks for the laugh!
yeah, had this issue 9 month ago as well (see this post) -- for me they fixed it a few days later. Good luck for you.
Hopefully some day they will learn about NTP and timezone settings...
This is one of the main reasons I never get openvz vpss.
Have you tried the timezone?
Well, working fine on a GVH vps here:
Before:
After:
Run dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
Don't really see the problem here.
If the OP posted direct command output, it's already correct.
From what he pasted it does seem like his timezone is set to what he wants it to be set to - "BST". Unless he pasted it wrong.
It works now, with two VPS
Thank you for your help.
What did you do?
Nothing.
I told the ticket, once again explaining the problem.
They made me a capure server screen, to show me that the time is right.
I rechecked my two VPS had good time.
I think they have made the necessary
