+ | === Q: Help! My time zone information is wrong and TZUTC shows a 0 value in Linux === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Most Linux distributions use resonable defaults, but some may not and you | ||
+ | may need to set this information up on your own not just for Mystic, but for | ||
+ | other applications too. | ||
+ | | ||
+ | Its also possible your distribution is minimal and does include support for | ||
+ | timezone at all, and in that case you must set it using its configuration | ||
+ | tool or package manager. | ||
+ | | ||
+ | It is also possible that you have changed some values and they are set | ||
+ | improperly or that you are using a distribution that uses some format never | ||
+ | seen before. | ||
+ | | ||
+ | Since there are some many different distributions and possibilities, | ||
+ | difficult to give a single set of instructions on how to resolve timezone | ||
+ | issues. | ||
+ | file on the disk, and Mystic has to be able to find it. | ||
+ | | ||
+ | The logic Mystic uses is based off of checking the TZ environment variable | ||
+ | value and acting accordingly: | ||
+ | | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | If TZ environment variable has a value then: | ||
+ | If TZ begins with / then use this value as timezone file location | ||
+ | If TZ is set such as ' | ||
+ | If no TZDIR value is set use / | ||
+ | If TZDIR is set use TZDIR + TZ | ||
+ | |||
+ | If TZ environment variable is NO value then: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Check / | ||
+ | If no file then check / | ||
+ | If no file then check / | ||
+ | If no file then check value of TZDIR + " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Troubleshooting an issue will largely depend on what the values are for your | ||
+ | TZ and TZDIR environment variables which you can check by doing a "echo $TZ" | ||
+ | and "echo $TZDIR" | ||
