  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

System Time and Log File time stamp different!

I have noticed a four hour difference between the system time, and the log-file time stamp. I have confirmed this by browsing a site, and immediately checking the log file (confirming the pages I browsed and sequence, etc.)

I thought it might be a time zone setting, but the server is -5 hours from GMT (not -4)

The actual system time (from both remote-console (RDC, not Plesk r-console) in and Plesk's manage system time function) is, for example, 0925, but the time shown in the log file is 1325.

Using PHP to grab the system time also matches the r-console and system time (not log file time stamps)

Anyone know where the log files get the time from?
 
Found the answer: IIS stamps the log files using the time zone of UTC (GMT/Zulu/whatever you call it where you're from).

You can tell IIS to rotate log files basis local time, but it still stamps UTC time.

When I stated in the previous post that it wasn't a time zone thing because the difference is +4 hours from the system time, but the time zone of the server is -5 hours...I forgot to take into consideration daylight savings time.:rolleyes:
