Invalid value for parameter "TimeZone": "MST"

[Ivan]

I started getting the dotcms@dotcms_test FATAL:  invalid value for parameter "TimeZone": "MST" error after updating a number of packages on my Linux. The error is logged in the Postgresql log file. The Postgresql uses "America/Denver" timezone. Is there a way to set dotCMS timezone to "America/Denver" in the docker compose YAML file?

Thanks,

Ivan

Also, the dotCMS seems to initially start and I can access the site for about 10 seconds, but then it hangs and I start seeing the dotcms@dotcms_test FATAL:  invalid value for parameter "TimeZone": "MST" exception in the Postgresql log. It looks like it finishes running some startup script that eventually causes the site to stop working and the error to apear.

Thanks,

RESOLVED: The culprit ended up being the tzdata package which is obviously related to the timezone. The new version 2024b-3 seems to break things and cause the FATAL:  invalid value for parameter "TimeZone": "MST" error in dotcms. The solution was to "apt-mark hold tzdata" when doing my update of packages. The version 2024a-4 seems to be working fine and not causing the error.
