Time difference between Hardware Node and VPS
During the distribution (redhat/centos) installer, you choose the timezone for your HN. The VE template has its own preconfigured timezone. So, its very possible for the zones to differ.
To resolve the problem, You should configure your VE to have the same timezone as the HN. For example, if EST is your preferred timezone:
rm -rf /etc/localtime 2>/dev/null; unlink /etc/localtime 2>/dev/null
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST /etc/localtime
vzctl exec 1041 rm -rf /etc/localtime 2>/dev/null
vzctl exec 1041 unlink /etc/localtime 2>/dev/null
vzctl exec 1041 ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST /etc/localtime
You can find many more exciting timezones with:
find /usr/share/zoneinfo/ | more
Or, here is a shell script that will let you change the timezones in ALL of your VPS's:
#! /bin/bash
for f in `ls /vz/private`
do
vzctl exec $f rm -rf /etc/localtime 2>/dev/null
vzctl exec $f unlink /etc/localtime 2>/dev/null
vzctl exec $f ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/CST6CDT /etc/localtime
done
