Some documentation from includes/DefaultSettings.php: /** * Fake out the timezone that the server thinks it's in. This will be used for * date display and not for what's stored in the DB. Leave to null to retain * your server's OS-based timezone value. This is the same as the timezone. * * This variable is currently used ONLY for signature formatting, not for * anything else. */ # $wgLocaltimezone = 'GMT'; # $wgLocaltimezone = 'PST8PDT'; # $wgLocaltimezone = 'Europe/Sweden'; # $wgLocaltimezone = 'CET'; $wgLocaltimezone = null; /** * Set an offset from UTC in hours to use for the default timezone setting * for anonymous users and new user accounts. * * This setting is used for most date/time displays in the software, and is * overrideable in user preferences. It is *not* used for signature timestamps. * * You can set it to match the configured server timezone like this: * $wgLocalTZoffset = date("Z") / 3600; * * If your server is not configured for the timezone you want, you can set * this in conjunction with the signature timezone and override the TZ * environment variable like so: * $wgLocaltimezone="Europe/Berlin"; * putenv("TZ=$wgLocaltimezone"); * $wgLocalTZoffset = date("Z") / 3600; * * Leave at NULL to show times in universal time (UTC/GMT). */ $wgLocalTZoffset = null; Therefore, the change in $wgLocaltimezone will only influence the signature (it *should* also influence the magic words, but it doesn't; see http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5727); you should also change $wgLocalTZoffset to influence the other parts of the interface, including the "lastmodified" line. If you type "~~~~~" in the Main Page, preview it, and get the right timezone - you've configured $wgLocaltimezone right.
