similar to: Setting default timezone ENV[''TZ'']=''UTC'' not working on windows?

Does anyone know the best way to track time zone information. There doesn''t seem to be much documentation on this. So far it seems like a simple db field like create table accounts ( id int unsigned not null auto_increment, name varchar(50) not null, time_zone varchar(50) not null, ... primary key (id) ) and a class like class Account < AR ...

Friends, So there I was, minding my own business, trying to make my rails app timezone aware (DST, as well), since it''s all about the timing with this one. There are a number of excellent articles that I''ve been working off of, in particular this one internet archived version of Scott Barron''s very useful article on the subject that is no longer available at the

I read in the rails recipes book that it is best to store times as UTC in the database. How do I do this? My server is located in GMT -6 CST. Do I need to change my server to use UTC or what? Thanks for your help. Thank You, Ben Johnson E: bjohnson@contuitive.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi. Using this: <%= time_zone_select("account", "time_zone" %> I get a list of time zones options, like eg.: <option value="Athens">(GMT+02:00) Athens</option> But as I''m using TZInfo::Timezone, I need to map ''Athens'' to ''Europe/Athens'' I can see that the mapping I''m looking for is

Hi All In trying to correlate some tide gauge data I need to deal with varying timezones. From the documentation on strptime, it seemed that the tz variable might have some effect on the conversion, but I'm not seeing an effect. > strptime("20061201 1:02 PST",format="%Y%m%d %H:%M",tz="PST")+0 [1] "2006-12-01 01:02:00 EST" >

Hi there, I have a *really* weird issue with rspec on rails: Given a time meridian formatted using %p When I run `rake spec` the time meridian is converted to lower case: expected: "Today 08:00 PM", got: "Today 08:00 pm" Yet when I run `rake spec:models` and `spec -cfs app/models` the specs pass, ie the the time meridian is in upper case. Anyone got any ideas how I

hey list! having a slightly odd time issue on one host... can I get some help with this? This is the current time from a working system: Sun Apr 17 00:28:18 EDT 2011 However from the problem system this is the time: Sat Apr 16 20:30:01 EDT 2011 I have set the time zone as such: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Apr 16 19:41 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST But when I run ntpdate

Hello, I just built openssh 3.8p1 on an HP-UX 11i machine. All looks well except for the timezone. I'm noticing now that when it logs stuff to syslog, it's off by 2 hours for me. What I've figured is this: My timezone is MST7MDT (mountain time). The timezone in /etc/default/tz is EST5EDT (eastern time). There's a 2 hour difference between mountain & eastern time. What

Hello everyone I wonder if anyone can point me to the library for timezone management with DST support, which has timezones, like flickr has. I know that there is TZInfo, but it''s a bit different for it has huge list of available timezones in ''Continent/City'' format. I would like my application to have timezones list more like on flickr (or windows regional settings) -

Here is the following from my console: >> Time.now => Mon Sep 22 11:33:34 +0200 2008 >> Time.now.utc_offset => 7200 >> TimeZone[Time.now.utc_offset] => #<TimeZone:0x11aea90 @tzinfo=nil, @utc_offset=7200, @name="Athens"> >> Time.now.in_time_zone(TimeZone[Time.now.utc_offset]) => Mon, 22 Sep 2008 12:34:22 EEST +03:00 (I am in Spain - CET - and

Yes, the potential issue I see is that make check fails when I explicitly set TZ. However, I set it to be the same as what the system reports when I login.

Okay I have a database with all timestamps stored in GMT, but each customer (who''s timezone is known), wants all data and query done in their timezone. So presentation is the standard offset and where clauses subtracts the offset. Could this be done as an extension to active record such that all queries automatically adjust dates to the timezone of the customer? Shawn

The return value of Sys.time() today with a timezone of US/Eastern is unchanged between 4.0.3-patched and devel, but on devel the following test fails all.equal(x, as.POSIXlt(x)) with x = Sys.time() This means that devel does not complete make tests (failure on tests/reg-tests-2.R) It is entirely possible that it is an error on my end, I use export TZ="US/Eastern" but I have been

Is it possible to get timezone abbreviations using the TimeZone or TzinfoTimezone classes? Even after converting UTC to localtime it still reports the timezone abbreviation as UTC. Example: >> @tz = TzinfoTimezone.us_zones[2] => #<TzinfoTimezone:0x30868a0 @utc_offset=-28800, @name="Pacific Time (US & Canada)"> >> @tz.now => Wed Jan 24 12:36:56 UTC 2007

Hello All, Is there any way to change the timezone on the fly? I have this little time clock program running on Asterisk system developed using PHPAGI. Currently, whenever user logs in, Asterisk will prompt the current system time using "$agi->say_time();" which executes "SAY TIME". Now the current timezone set on the system is "PST", and I have a request to

I am analysing some data collected over a number of months from Allentown, PA, which is just north of Philadelphia. I am using as.POSIXct for dates and times, and I need to get the timezone specification correct. Going on the documentation for DateTimeClasses, I believe one way to specify the correct time zone is tz="EST5EDT" I would be grateful for any advice on this. I ask

Running under Windows XP 64 bit, as.POSIXlt()/as.POSIXct() seem to think that US time zones (EST5EDT, MST7MDT) switched from daylight savings back to standard time on Oct 28, 2007, whereas the switch is actually on Sun Nov 04, 2007. Examples: > Sys.timezone() [1] "Mountain Daylight Time" > as.POSIXct("2007-10-30 12:38:47") [1] "2007-10-30 12:38:47 Mountain

Hi, I have a website in production wich uses a lot of date and time calculations to show specific information. The timezone of my hosting service (Dreamhost) is PDT, and the timezone of my potential clients is CEST. There are 9 hours of difference between them. Is there an environment variable that I could adjust in my rails application, so all date/time values be set to CEST timezone? Thanks.
