Hi Guys,

we are really frustrated as our wiki is showing the wrong time.

Here's the part of our LocalSettings (as seen on 
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual_talk:Timezone):
#Set Default Timezone
$wgLocaltimezone = "Europe/Berlin";
$oldtz = getenv("TZ");
putenv("TZ=$wgLocaltimezone");
# Versions before 1.7.0 used $wgLocalTZoffset as hours.
# After 1.7.0 offset as minutes
$wgLocalTZoffset = date("Z") / 60;
#$wgLocalTZoffset = date("Z") / 60 + date("I") * 60;
# putenv("TZ=$oldtz");


Server's and php's time is right:
[root at servlet ~]# php -r 'echo date("r");'
Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:57:03 +0200

Our Wiki is always 2 hours wrong:
Server time13:59
Local time15:59
Offset 02:00


Kind regards,
