Server timezone and user timezone change to GMT after changing to Asia/Kolkata

yashbhat8 years ago

I have tried changing the server timezone and individual users' timezones to Asia/Kolkata, but they change again to GMT. This results in a state where the browsers reports the right time in reports but when the reports are exported they show GMT times.

It means that you haven't changed server timezone properly. Check logs timestamps to confirm.

How do I set server timezone? Is there any configuration key? I tried setting it through the web UI and it's not being set. and if it involves setting the time on my google compute engine, that has the correct time. It's set to IST.

Time looks correct. Is it not correct in the web app? If that's the case, you must have a misconfiguration somewhere with the timezone.

As I said, the times are correct in the reports and other when viewed in a browser since I guess it's the browser that converts it to local time, however, it's incorrect in the settings and I can't set it through the web app because the it isn't persistent. It goes back to GMT after setting it to Asia/Kolkata. And this causes the exported report to have incorrect timestamps.

I have also tried setting it through the API without any success.

I need access to the server to take a look.

I set it through the H2 web server and even that got resetted to GMT. I'm working on a Google Compute Engine, would you like access to that or is team viewer okay?

I need access to SSH and web app to check myself.

It's on Google Compute engine, so I can share access, if you give me your gmail id. You can contact me on yash.bhat94@gmail.com.
