TIPS Time Zone off by 5 to 10 Min

[Twilight Sparkle]

ok so i ran the Time Zone setup and selected USA - LOS ANGLES - PACIFIC but yet im still short 5 to 10 minutes then the NORMAL time this means that if my time is on house wall clock/cell phone is 10:00am then the Server/PBX is 9:50am, this is bad, how do i fix it!

First, see if the NTP daemon is running. From the Linux command line enter: service ntpd status If the output reads something like: ntpd is stopped it means that the NTP daemon is not running. If that's the case, manually force a sync by issuing: ntpdate us.pool.ntp.org then start the NTP daemon by typing service ntpd start.

You should then make sure that the NTP daemon is set to start at boot. Type: chkconfig --list ntpd You should see this as the output:

ntpd            0:off  1:off  2:off  3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

If you don't see the above for the output, enter chkconfig --level 345 ntpd on That should enable the NTP daemon during boot of runlevels 3, 4 and 5.

If your NTP daemon was running in the first step above, stop it by typing service ntpd stop and force a manual sync as described above, then start the NTP daemon again with a service ntpd start. After that monitor the system to make sure it's keeping time correctly. If it's not, the battery might need to be replaced.

Use Webmin > Hardware > system time to check and change the Time Server and schedule. I find that method much easier.
