FOG time is far off
-
I’ll keep this one short and sweet. I don’t know what time zone Apache and everything else is in, but it’s definitely not mine. How do I change the time for FOG?
For reference, Linux system time is correct.
-
You need to change the timezone in php.
Instructions:
search for “[SIZE=14px][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Consolas]date[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=14px][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Consolas].[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=14px][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Consolas]timezone” in your php.ini[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE]Time zone options:
[url]http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php[/url]Be sure to restart apache 2 after the change.

Ahhhh, so satisfying. Thank you very much!
For future reference, the php.ini file should be in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini (For Debian/Possibly Ubuntu)

I discovered that changing the php.ini DOES correct the time zone issue for both the bandwidth graph and for imaging log. However the FOG log still goes by UTC? How does one change that? Here’s an example of the log which I am talking about:
[CODE][02-06-15 4:53:32 pm] * Starting Image Replication.
[02-06-15 4:53:32 pm] * We are group ID: #1
[02-06-15 4:53:32 pm] * We have node ID: #1
[02-06-15 4:53:32 pm] * I am the only member, no need to copy anything!.
[02-06-15 5:03:32 pm] * Starting Image Replication.
[02-06-15 5:03:32 pm] * We are group ID: #1
[02-06-15 5:03:32 pm] * We have node ID: #1
[/CODE] -
I’m going to guess you’re running ubuntu?
There’s two places you’ll need to change in that case.
First as you’re all well aware is /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
Second is /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
Don’t ask me why, that’s how they decided to do it.
-
Yes Ubuntu and yes both placed were updated…any other ideas?
-
After the update did you restart the apache2 service?
-
Yep I did; but here is what actually worked for me. I had to restart the FOG services in order for the log to start updating with the correct time zone
[CODE]boyan@fog4:/etc/php5/cli$ sudo service FOGScheduler restart
- Restarting FOG Computer Imaging Solution: FOGScheduler [ OK ]
boyan@fog4:/etc/php5/cli$ sudo service FOGMulticastManager restart - Restarting FOG Computer Imaging Solution: FOGMulticastManager [ OK ]
boyan@fog4:/etc/php5/cli$ sudo service FOGImageReplicator restart - Restarting FOG Computer Imaging Solution: FOGImageReplicator [ OK ]
boyan@fog4:/etc/php5/cli$
[/CODE]
Now all is good as expected:
[CODE][02-07-15 8:51:18 am] * Starting FOG Multicast Manager Service
[02-07-15 8:51:23 am] * Checking for new tasks every 10 seconds.
[02-07-15 8:51:23 am] * Starting service loop.
[02-07-15 8:51:23 am] * No tasks found!
[02-07-15 8:51:33 am] * No tasks found!
[02-07-15 8:51:43 am] * No tasks found![/CODE] - Restarting FOG Computer Imaging Solution: FOGScheduler [ OK ]
-
For future reference:
If your time is off please check your timezone located in these two files(ubuntu):
[CODE]/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
/etc/php5/cli/php.ini[/CODE]Then restart apache2 and Fog Services (or reboot entire server):
[CODE]sudo service apache2 restart
sudo service FOGMulticastManager restart
sudo service FOGTaskScheduler restart
sudo service FOGImageReplicator restart
sudo service FOGSnapinReplicator restart
[/CODE]As a result of this “issue” coming up so often please see [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Time_off[/url] for other details.

This pops up a bit maybe add it to the wiki?
-
It’s already there
-
Ok I obviously need more caffeine I should have seen that.
-
hehehehehe :rolleyes:
-
Do I have to change the time in the storage nodes as well or do they pull from the FOG Server?
-
For the FOG Services to work properly, only the nodes that are masters should require it. Other than that everything else should be good to go.

I don’t know how much of a pain in the ass it would be to implement, but could the time-zone settings be added either to the Web interface or at least the installation script? Manually editing system files just to correct the time zone seems a little much for the average user, but that’s just my opinion.

Web interface now has this support. It will use the UTC setting if no time is set. If php.ini timezone is set, it will use this as its timezone, otherwise it will use whatever you select.
