My Amazon Linux server at EC2 is showing GMT times, instead of BST ones this morning. How do I change the server time so that it is running off BST instead?

  • All servers should use UTC. For this very reason.

Reset to default

And here it is.

sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/clock

Edit the zone to "Europe/London" or your own local timezone

sudo tzdata-update

...and then probably restart the webserver etc to properly fix everything.

Run the command:

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

and choose Europe/London

    I think this is a Debian-based command, whereas Amazon Linux is RedHat-based.
