Fresh first-time install of 1.5.3 on Linux.

Trying to display times (like in a page's history) in a specific time zone. And not when a user is logged in.

Looking at DefaultSettings.php and http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2004-April/000357.html I tried this:

$wgLocaltimezone="PST8PDT"; #$wgLocaltimezone="America/Los_Angeles"; putenv("TZ=$wgLocaltimezone"); $wgLocalTZoffset = date("Z") / 3600;

Tried both of those timezone settings.

The machine's time is correct:

$ date Fri Dec 9 08:00:49 PST 2005
