Public bug reported: Under libapache2-mod-php5 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.10 (as provided by Lucid LTS release) php scripts tend to forget timezone after some time.
The timezone is correctly set in the /etc/php5/conf.d/timezone.ini file: [Date] date.timezone=UTC It works properly for several hours after restart of apache. At some point the libapache2-mod-php5 forgets the definition and starts thinking that it's timezone is "America/Chicago". The problem does not occur if php is run using CLI. Also the problem occurs only on one of my servers. It is not reproducible on other similar servers. See attached php script for demonstration of the problem. To see the problem, upload the php script to some server and start polling it as follows: while [ 1 ]; do wget -O - --quiet http://badmachine.yourcompany.com/print_timezone.php; sleep 10; echo -n "."; done Once you see "+" in the output, this means the problem exists. ** Affects: apache2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/907816 Title: libapache2-mod-php5 forgets timezone definition after some time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/907816/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
