Here we are talking about vps outside China. after buying vps, I log on to the system and see how the time difference is several hours. Obviously, the time zone is incorrect. Here we will introduce how to change the linux vps time to our + 8 zone.

Now Beijing time is: Local time is now: Sun Aug 26 16:03:18 CST 2012

I used date to check the time: Sun Aug 26 12:06:16 MSD 2012

After reading this, one is CST and the other is MSD, so I want to change the VPS Time zone to China Standard Time UT +, which is the UTC + 8 zone.

The procedure is as follows:

[Root @ vps ~] # Cp/usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Shanghai/etc/localtime
Cp: overwrite '/etc/localtime '? Yes
[Root @ vps ~] # Date
Sun Aug 26 16:15:12 CST 2012
