Title: System Time wrong timezone
Post by: BillySilver on May 23, 2017, 08:40:57 PM
I configured NTP to use 0.us.pool.ntp.org, 1.us.pool.ntp.org, and 2.us.pool.ntp.org, with 0 being marked preferred. However, my system time is still in UTC, not EDT. I tried manually editing the /conf/config.xml file, but that wont help when we switch back to EST, nor does it resolve the underlying issue.

I can successfully resolve the NTP servers' names. What else could be the issue?

Thanks,
William

What does the web GUI say under System: Settings: General: Time zone

Bart...

Wow. I looked everywhere and managed to overlook that... Thanks!

Follow up question: Is there any way to change the time format to 12-hr clock without affecting syslog timestamps?

The timestamps are unix counters so that would be a question of formatting. I think the time displays are translatable, but we don't have a British English so it's not easy to change that consistently.
