====== NTP - date and time ======

===== Synchronize date and time =====

==== Installation ====

  * Synchronize date and time between the physical machine and the VMs running on your system:<code># apt-get update
# apt-get install ntp</code>

  * Check whether the correct date and time, and the connection to a time server, has been established:<code># date
# ntpq -p</code>

==== Troubleshooting ====

  * If you run //ntpq -p// and you get<code>No association ID's returned</code>
  * Run<code># dpkg-reconfigure ntp</code>
  * And then again<code># ntpq -p</code>

===== Change the timezone of your linux box =====
  # dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

You need to restart the apache2 service for php to recognize the changed timezone.
