Answer 1

First see your mysql server timezone:
mysql -e "SELECT @@global.time_zone;" -u -p.
Most probably it should be SYSTEM.
Find your system timezone: date +”%Z.
See if its CEST.
You need to change your system timezone:

#cd /usr/share/zoneinfo
#ls -l
#rm /etc/localtime
#ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC /etc/localtime

Then restart your mysql server: /etc/init.d/mysqld restart.

Enjoy
