: : Technical Support & Troubleshooting : Why your server time is in EST time zone? Print
Question:Why your server time is in EST time zone? I want to change it to my local time zone!
Answer:Our server time has been set to EST (Easten Standard Time) since year 2000 this is due to the fact that over 90% of our clients are from Eastern US/Canada.

However this should not cause so much issue here as most web applications nowadays are time zone friendly.

If they are not, you should be able to patch them easily.

A sample PHP code is as follows assuming that you need the server time reported in PST (Pacific Standard Time):

$now = strtotime('-3 hours');
$nowstr = strftime('%D %T', $now);
print "now unix timestamp: $now
now (formatted): $nowstr";

For sample code in other programming languages, Mecca does not provide them but it is not hard to develop your own. Please search for Google for inspiration.
