You can update your droplet’s timezone by running the following command:
sudo cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo /etc/localtime
Hi, i tried this but did not make a change.
I have a VPS in San Francisco (SF1), and it showed originally EST time:
Thu Feb 26 01:08:06 EST 2015
So I made this change:
$ export TZ=PST
$ date
Thu Feb 26 06:28:48 PST 2015
Now it shows PST, but is still off by 8 hours (it is now Thu Feb 25 22:28:48 PST 2015 - on West Coast USA).
I have tried both these:
sudo cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles /etc/localtime
sudo cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/PST /etc/localtime
and they did not change a thing.
How do I get the REAL PST time?
i logged out, and then logged back in about 9 hours later, and the time is correct now:
$: date
Thu Feb 26 07:05:59 PST 2015
