Hi there, 

There are two places I would recommend looking. 

First, there is a configuration file where you can set your timezone - the file is located at apps/qubit/config/settings.yml. You will see a place where you can set the correct timezone.

You can find a list of supported timezone names here: 
If you make changes, be sure to restart PHP-FPM, memcached, and clear the application cache before testing again. On Ubuntu 16.04 you could use the following commands to do so: 
  • sudo systemctl restart php7.0-fpm
  • sudo systemctl restart memcached
  • php symfony cc
If that doesn't work, there is also a place you can set a default timezone in your PHP configuration file. See this doc for instructions on how to locate the file: 
Once you find and access it, if you scroll waaaaaay down to about line 925, you will see a section called Module settings. There is a default timezone setting here.

You will need to remove the semi-colon at the beginning of the line (which currently comments out the line so it is ignored), and then add your timezone, using the same list linked above. Again, after making changes, be sure to restart PHP-FPM, memcached, and clear the application cache before testing again.

Let us know if that works!

Hi again, 

Did you also make the change in apps/qubit/config/settings.yml? Because this is an AtoM configuration file, it is possible it is overriding the default PHP settings, so I would make the change in both places. Let us know if that helps. 

Cheers,

Please note that AtoM is behaving according to the standard which says

For all responses, the first two children of the root element are: 
  • responseDate -- a UTCdatetime indicating the time and date that the response was sent. This must be expressed in UTC.
  • request -- indicating the protocol request that generated this response.




If you proceed with changing the zone of that date you may impact on your harvesters which will likely assume UTC.

For completeness of answer:

$date is set in this XML file

It comes from getDate() here

And is populated in here

Tl;dr:
If you don’t want to use UTC you will need to edit one of the top two files to add timezone offset.


Karl.
