My Question

How to change the time zone in

Answer 1

Another way of changing the time (This was done on an Amazon EC2 Linux instance)

Remove your localtime file

sudo rm /etc/localtime

Change Directory to ZoneInfo

cd /usr/share/zoneinfo

This folder contains all of the timezone information. You then just need to softlink to the appropriate zone.

Create a softlink to /etc/localtime

sudo ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/GB /etc/localtime

That will change your server timezone to GB
