status.cgi - times out by 1 hour until I resta rt apache

[Tedman Eng]

Its possible that your nagios or apache accounts are running at system
timezone and you're running in local timezone (though only within your user
environment).  The time displayed in the web interface is offset using your
timezone setting (not sure if it's apache's or nagios' timezone).  To set it
systemwide, find the appropriate file (ie.
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Zurich) and copy it over your system's timezone
file (ie /etc/localtime).  

Also, check your UTC time (date -u) once more, and set the system's hardware
clock (setclock) if needed.  If the date changed dramatically, you may need
to also restart the ntpd daemon if you use that.

Subject: [Nagios-users] status.cgi - times out by 1 hour until I restart
apache


Hi All,
I've found that 'sometimes' times displayed by status.cgi / showlog.cgi /
etc can be exactly 1 hour out.  The status and log entry content is up to
date, but the times reported are offset by 1 hour.  If I restart apache the
times shown are correct - only for a while though.  The system clock is
always valid (and regularly sync'd with an NTP server).
I've not worked out what triggers this offset to take hold yet.  Has anyone
else seen this issue?
My apache config is rather esoteric (fcgi, gzip, ssl, authenticated via an
external app), but I don't think this has anything to do with it.
Cheers... Karl
