Help:Timezone

  The default Timezone (tz) for users who have not specified a custom offset may be configured manually.

Primary Method

• Create a backup copy of the LocalSettings.php file found in your install directory
• Edit LocalSettings.php and add the following code:

#Set Default Timezone
$wgLocaltimezone = "America/Los_Angeles";
$oldtz = getenv("TZ");
putenv("TZ=$wgLocaltimezone");
$wgLocalTZoffset = date("Z") / 3600;
putenv("TZ=$oldtz");

• Set the '$wgLocaltimezone' value to the proper value which you can find here. See examples below.

$wgLocaltimezone = "Europe/London";
$wgLocaltimezone = "Asia/Taipei";

Note: This timezone will be used in:

• ~~~~ signatures
• timestamps in recentchanges
• timestamps in history

Note: Upload and deletion logs will probably still be listed in UTC
