Time way off (7 hours) w/ 6.0.1 upgrade?

I just noticed this quirk. Anyone else see this? The DSTLAW, TIMEZONE, and DST variables match my Notes client (6.0.1) which seems to know the right time.DSTLAW=4,1,1,10,-1,1

Timezone=5

DST=1

It’s off by seven hours, so I’m pretty puzzled. It’s not a daylight savings time quirk. When it writes files, the operating system is tagging the files w/ the right date/time, so the operating system (Win2K) is set to the right time.

I thought those parameters were supposed to be abandoned in 6? Have you tried it with those gone? It sounds like you’ve somehow wound up on GMT. There may also be a spot in the configuration document that is causing this. I can’t look right now, but it’s a start. Sorry.

Subject: Those params are still in D6

I checked a test 6.0.1 server (this was installed as an R6 server from scratch) and it has the same parameters but knows the right time. I’ll see if I can write some code to query the timezone on the server (though it should match the notes.ini file).

Subject: Fixed it

There was a spurious ZONE_SET variable in notes.ini. No clue what it was doing there, but it wasn’t in the other server’s notes.ini file or in my Notes client’s notes.ini. Restarted the server and it picked up the right time. That was a weird one :stuck_out_tongue:
