You can set manually the server date and time through the interface and enable server time synchronization with the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. To manage the system date and time settings, follow these steps: Click the System Time icon on the Server administration page. The system date and time management page will open: Edit the time and date settings as desired, and click Set. To synchronize your server time with that of a server running the Network Time Protocol, select the Synchronize system time checkbox. Once this checkbox is checked, this function is enabled. Enter a valid IP address or a domain name and click Set. NOTE Enabling the Synchronize system time function will override any time and date you manually enter in the System Date and Time fields. It is also important to be sure the domain name or IP address you enter for synchronization is a valid NTP server. If not, this function will not work and your server will continue running with its current time settings If you found this tutorial helpful, you can bookmark it with your favourite tracker.
