Change timezone on Linux server

You can change the time zone for your server by using following command.

First check the server current date

root@admin[~]#date

Tue Aug 14 10:10:29 EST 2018

As per above output, current timezone is EST.

For example we are changing time zone  from EST to IST

root@admin[~]#ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Kolkata /etc/localtime

root@admin[~]#date

Tue Aug 14 19:49:35 IST 2018

You can select a timezone as per your requirement by selecting a correct timezone present under the directory /usr/share/zoneinfo

If you have any issues, you can contact Live chat support to discuss issue.
