Hi there,

=20

I am having troubles with the switch over between GMT and BST with
respect to the entries going in the log files, I am using apache 2.0.55
BTW.

=20

The timezones on our servers are set to GB and during British Wintertime
the log file entries are stamped correctly, however when moving to BST I
have to add the following to the apache startup script to get the
timestamps in BST format.

=20

TZ=3DGMT0BST

export TZ

=20

And obviously remember to take this out when returning back to GMT in
October.

=20

For the actual logfile configuration I use the following:

=20

Logformat "%{%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S}t %{X-Forwarded-For}i %{host}i %r %s %b
%D %q %{User-Agent}i %{IR_PORTAL_COOKIE}C %{Referer}i" ORU_extended

CustomLog "|/opt/app/apache/bin/rotatelogs
/opt/app/apache/logs/site_access_log.%Y-%m-%d 86400" ORU_extended

=20

Is there any other way of ensuring the correct localtime gets put into
the logfile entries?? I have tried using %X in place of %H:%M:%S but
this has no effect.

=20

Cheers
