Hi,
Currently using version 1.9.1 and I'm having some problems getting the correct TZ, in my cast EST.
With 1.8, I put $wgLocalTZoffset in LocalSettings and that worked.
I looked on Mediawiki's site in the config section and it look like I need to put $wgLocaltimezone = 'EST'; in LocalSettings.
But even after that, when I edit a page the time shown is not correct. For example, I edited a page at 10:50 this morning and it shows as 15:50 in the history page.
What should I change to fix it?
Thanks! Simon

1) set $wgLocalTZoffset 2) confirm that your account doesn't have a different preference set
- -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com / brion @ wikimedia.org)
I put the offset at -5.
I checked the preferences of the user and I see Server time 16:36 and Local time 16:31.
So I went on the server and it has the correct time (11:XX), as does my own station.
Could this be a DB problem?

It isn't very clear in the documentation, but $wgLocalTZoffset is set in minutes; you probably want to set it to -300 (-5 * 60) for EST.

I set it to -300 and it worked.
Thanks a lot!
