[Vtigercrm-developers] Correct timezone settings

[Richard Hills]

Hi Bernard

Wasn't sure if you got this issue solved, I am just confirming we're 
also using this on NZ servers and are not seeing any issues.

Are you properly setting the timezone in your config.inc.php file? if 
this is a NZ server (with time set to match) then this would be:
$default_timezone = 'Pacific/Auckland';
