"Server time may be inaccurate" warning in ACP

[Fernando Mercês]

Recently I noticed the following warning shown in ACP->Support->Something isn't working properly:

Although times look ok in my Community v4.5.4.2, I started to investigate and found out that in fact there's a configuration directive we can use in php.ini to set our default timezone:

But init.php replaces it in Community startup process, setting it to UTC-0:

Is this correct? This way I can only get rid of this warning if I set my server to UTC, right? Is it recommended?

Thanks,

Fernando

This means that the actual clock on your server appears to have drifted (in other words, it's 5:01 pm UTC right now, but your server's clock may be set to 5:45 pm or 4:30 pm, etc.). Make sure you are running something like NTP on your server.

This message is not regarding your timezone.

Nice! Thanks for this, @Paul E.! The following command did the job:

sudo ntpdate ntp.cais.rnp.br

But of course any NTP server would work here (time.windows.com, etc).

Thanks again.
