    Has anyone been able to get the timezone changed for PHP error logs?

    No matter what I do, the error logs are the only thing that output UTC time.

    Everything else has correct timezone.

    Correct:
    Code:
    php -r "echo date('l jS \of F Y h:i:s A');"
Thursday 30th of June 2022 07:54:28 AM

    PHP sets up it's own timezone config outside of system via date.timezone configuration paramter.
    Code (Text):
    php -i | grep 'timezone =>'
Default timezone => UTC
date.timezone => UTC => UTC


    For custom php settings read centminmod.com/phpfpm.html#customphpini. You might want to create /etc/centminmod/php.d/b_customphp.ini to override centmin mod defaults at /etc/centminmod/php.d/a_customphp.ini and restart PHP-FPM. Such changes will persist when doing centmin mod upgrades.

    Also outlined in Getting Started Guide Step 17

    example

    Code (Text):
    # check date.timezone
php -r "print(date_default_timezone_get());"
UTC

# create custom override config /etc/centminmod/php.d/c_customphp.ini
touch /etc/centminmod/php.d/c_customphp.ini
# set date.timezone
echo "date.timezone=America/Chicago" >> /etc/centminmod/php.d/c_customphp.ini
# restart php-fpm service
fpmrestart
# recheck date.timezone
php -r "print(date_default_timezone_get());"
America/Chicago

    Oh you're referring to system log date timestamp being UTC ?

    That seems to be hardcoded to UTC PHP :: Bug #45191 :: error_log ignores date.timezone php.ini val when setting logging timestamps

    If it's just visual comparison issue when you inspect logs, you can use Centmin Mod's command shortcut = mytimes which lists common timezones so you can easily reference any date/timezones

    Code (Text):
    mytimes

    This is the most annoying, doesn't really impact my life bug I have come across recently. Likely because of how old it is and how easy it should be to fix.

    PHP's error logs are the ONLY logs that do not respect my timezone.

    Well if you can find where in the PHP source code it hardcodes UTC in it, I can probably add to Centmin Mod's PHP compile routine an on the fly patch to change the hardcoded timezone :D
