PIAF Purple VMWare & Clock

[onthevoip]

First Thanks to Ward and everybody else who is making all of this happen.

On my VM (host is a WIN XP) install which I did early January, I setup a bunch of reminders. I am on EST and these reminder calls always happen about 3 hours later than the time originally setup. What could be causing this? I checked the system time on the Guest OS and it shows up correctly.

Appreciate all your help.

I may be way off base here, but there is a time configuration in /etc/php.ini which may cause your reminders to be off. I think I had this problem with PIAF on Ubuntu years ago.

Also be sure to install VMware Tools:

1. move or rename the existing repositories in /etc/yum/repos.d (I renamed them without the .repo extension) I am not sure why, but the "factory" repositories break the VMware Tools install process
2. Create /etc/repos.d/vmware-tools.repo with the content:

   [vmware-tools]
   name=VMware Tools
   baseurl=http://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/4.1/rhel5/i686
   enabled=1
   gpgcheck=1

3. Install with the command: yum install open-vm-tools

VMware tools is critical to timing in a VM
