Change Server Timezone in CentOS

It just happened that sometimes the server is using UTC time instead of our localtime.

[root@venus wiki]# date
Wed Oct 14 12:22:59 UTC 2015
[root@venus wiki]# cat /etc/localtime
TZif2UTCTZif2UTC
UTC0

Make a backup of the /etc/localtime

[root@venus wiki]# mv /etc/localtime /etc/localtime.bak

Symlink to our desired timezone. as a new /etc/localtime

[root@venus wiki]# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Ku
Kuala_Lumpur  Kuching       Kuwait
[root@venus wiki]# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Ku
Kuala_Lumpur  Kuching       Kuwait
[root@venus wiki]# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Kuala_Lumpur /etc/localtime

test again

[root@venus wiki]# date
Wed Oct 14 20:54:52 MYT 2015

Done !

    Hey! Thanks for this! Great walkthrough.

    I just downloaded and played with this myself
    for the first time, and i enjoy getting directions
    for stuff to look at.

    Another alternative to the two part USB files:
    in the readthisfirst file, there is a list of mirrors
    to the ISO worldwide.

    Also: i did the wget app download (you might
    want to “blank out” the first failed attempt)

    Question: where is the “app store” for
    Android stuff? is it an app? is it like Cydia
    for jailbroke iphones?

    I want to walk around in the softs a bit.

    thanks!

      Uncle Foobar : ok.. had ‘blank out’ the first failed attempt on the app installation due to typo error of the app url..

      App store for Google Android is available at http://www.android.com/market/

      however.. it may not available at your mobile due to some TELCO / countries restriction..
      please check the local Android user community..
      or just go to http://developer.android.com/community/

      😎

    App Store is not open-sourced, hence not in these kind of builds. You need to have some agreement with google to distribute it on your “phones”.

    You can browse what’s available in the market through the following hack http://www.cyrket.com from the same guy who brought you cydia on the iphone.

    Having said that … those who have rooted android phones … can probably download an app from the market and “share” it with you …
