Marc Posted October 13, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022 If you go to the support area of your admin CP, are you seeing any warnings about the server time being incorrect? If so, its likely this that is causing your issues

Since the above site is geofenced you may check my other site https://ecisveep.nic.in/files/file/2050-prints/ While I am logged in this is showing While using as a guest this is showing
Randy Calvert Posted October 13, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022 The default timezone for PHP is UTC regardless of what your local time is set on the server. Have you checked your php.ini to make sure timezone is set to the correct one? I believe it’s should be set to the following for India: date.timezone = Asia/Kolkata SeNioR- 1
Jim M Posted October 13, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022 Do you have Guest page caching enabled? If so, is it caching the page with a user who is not GMT? Can try clearing cache then immediately visiting the page as a guest to see if this is caching in the application.

Yes 5 guest minutes cache is enabled. But I tried to clear cache many times but nothing happened. It's still showing time in GMT for guests. Since site is geofenced all my users/guest visiters are on IST. 2 hours ago, Randy Calvert said: The default timezone for PHP is UTC regardless of what your local time is set on the server.

I believe it’s should be set to the following for India: date.timezone = Asia/Kolkata No this was left as default only server time was setted to IST. Added this in php.ini but nothing happened. If this is the reason why this is showing IST to logged in uses and GMT to guests?

The time zone is set from the OS/browser level if the time zone cookie is not set. If there is a change and you're viewing your community as a guest without the time zone cookie, it would revert back to your OS/browser level.

I checked on multiple desktops.
Jim M Posted October 13, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022 I would advise disabling any third party applications/plugins and switching to an unmodified theme then testing this again, with the cache clear. Unfortunately, as you are restricting us from accessing, this will be hard to troubleshoot as it is not something which we can reproduce here.
Marc Posted October 14, 2022 Posted October 14, 2022 You mention this is happening on all your sites, which I assume to be on the same server? Do you have any form of caching running there?

Marc Posted October 14, 2022 Posted October 14, 2022 You dont appear to have answered the second question there. I understand what you are saying, but there must be something in common between setups there, as this is only happening on your own setups, and not everyone elses

Marc Posted October 14, 2022 Posted October 14, 2022 Server caching, more than caching that is added there. We need to find what is the common item here. Also are you using any VPN your end?

Yes we use VPN to access server, that can't be shared as per policy. I can share whatever files do you require or show on any communication plateform like GMeet. Should I give you ACP account access? Today I installed a fresh version on localhost the same thing happening here ie IST for logged in users GMT for guests. I guess this is a bug and should be tested by development team once.

Marc Posted October 14, 2022 Posted October 14, 2022 The reason I am asking is Im wondering if your VPN is showing items in a different location. Have you checked what timezone your vpn is in also? Yes, if you wish for us to take a look at this, you would need to provide access
Randy Calvert Posted October 14, 2022 Posted October 14, 2022 I just tested this in a vanilla IPB install... it does not have a problem in a fresh/clean setup. Guest Signed In: Matt Finger 1

I just try on a fresh installation on localhost my php version is 7.4.29. Made ACP General Configuration entry- Physical Address: India. Checked php.ini there is [Date] date.timezone=Asia/Kolkata Now I uploaded file on 22:02 IST and this is showing file uploaded time 17:32 that is -5:30. means showing same for guest and logged in user but not showing in IST. I checked php.info there date.timezone : Asia/Kolkata but showing Default timezone: UTC I am sure this is the problem. I tried to change Default timezone to IST but could not succeed. Is there any more place for setting this rather then php.in. Please suggest. Edited October 16, 2022 by Pushpendra Singh Chauhan
Jim M Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 Could you please let us know what time zone the VPN is in that you're using? The default timezone of PHP will not have any impact here.
