CF Functions And Server Time

[KennyG92LS]

Don't know if anyone has ever run into this or not, but any of my CF pages
which utilize the Now() function are displaying time 1 hour off.

We just went through the Spring time change, all of our Windows-based servers
have the correct time on them (they are all time sync'd), yet CF didn't seem to
pick up the time change.

I have no idea where CF is getting it's time from. It's obviously not getting
"....the current date and time of the computer running the ColdFusion server."
as stipulated in the CF documentation.

We're runnig CF MX version 6,1,0,63958

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Actually it is, but realize that to a computer - a date time value is a
bunch of zeros and ones that are rather meaningless to most us humans.
The conversion of that computer time to a human readable form is a whole
other layer.

Have you every installed the JAVA update to allow it to understand the
change in daylight savings that occurred a couple of years ago?

No, we weren't even aware of this update.

Many thanks, Ian!
