I cannot seem to get my system to on the correct time. So I was wondering where ERPNext gets its time and date information so I can try to figure out how to best fix the problem.
Right now the bios (hardware clock) is running with the local time. I cannot change the bios time because it is on a commercial VPS host. I am running Ubuntu 16.04 as the server. and I can set some things there.
In ERPNext I set the local time zone in all of my users, but all transaction posted in the system are exactly 4 hours behind. At this point I am just not sure wher to make changes to get everything to sync time properly.
I ran “sudo timedatectl status” and the correct time, date and timezone were returned without having to make any changes. However, everything in ERPNext is still 4 hours behind. The return look like this:
root@ubuntu16:~# timedatectl status
Local time: Sun 2018-02-18 11:15:57 EST
Universal time: Sun 2018-02-18 16:15:57 UTC
RTC time: Sun 2018-02-18 16:15:56
Time zone: America/New_York (EST, -0500)
Network time on: yes
NTP synchronized: yes
RTC in local TZ: no
root@ubuntu16:~#
What am I missing? Setting the timezone to my time zone (America/New_York) didn’t fix anything. I also see a line that says RTC in local TZ = no
Is that my problem? how do I change the RTC to a local timezone? From what I read in the man page for timedatectl, it is not a good idea to make the RTC use local TZ.
Here is an indication of the problem. See the screen grab below:
This screen grab is from the Sales Invoice screen. When I start a new sales invoice, the system thinks the timezone is America/Nome instead of America/NewYork.
In my user profile my timezone is set to America/New_York. So, how do I get the system to recognize the correct timezone?
All of the users on the system are set to America/New_York, but all of them get the same result pictured above.
Where else does one go to set the timezone? I have set it in the Ubuntu server and in all of my users.
