Time Issues on Server

I'm not sure if this is because of vBSEO or not:

I recently installed SEO and all was good. It's working just fine. My number of bots crawling have increased but here is the issue...

My server's time is all jacked up. Here is my site: Xtreme-Source - Taking it to the next level! In the What's going on? section of my forum it shows: Most users ever online was 1, 12-31-1969 at 06:00 PM.

and in the footer, it says: All times are GMT -5. The time now is 10:58 PM.

I'm on Honolulu time...this is really frustrating. Does anyone have any ideas? Please. This only occurred a few hours after I installed vBSEO which is why I'm posting here. Maybe you can give me soem insight.

Thanks in advance.

vBSEO would have no affect on server time. Check with your ISP to make sure they have the time set correctly on the server. And in vBulletin options make sure you have the correct time selected correctly.

I do, and they say that their server time is correct...would you happen to have any other ideas. Many others seem to have this issue as well:

Hello Eddie,

is it working correctly with vBSEO disabled?

I disabled vBSEO and no, it's not, so I renabled it. I recently talked to my host and they say it may be something they can do about it and they have put a ticket in. 4 times now and different things said each time, but this time there is a ticket number. Here is how it went down:

Brett: OK I have found a fix for it but I cannot do it. I will put a ticket in to our L3 queue to have them fix it.
Eddie: What is the problem
Eddie: How long will it take them to carry it out?
Brett: it has somthing to do with a clocking problem it is over my head but an admin can do it.
Brett: i have no idea on when they can run it though
Eddie: But not at my site, right?
Brett: it is both
Brett: the way your site renders the time and the time clock for cpanel

So that was last night, it's morning here now and I'm gonna give them my ticket number and see what the status is. This makes no sense to me.

Your problem is that you have a bad query to your datastore and it is corrupting the data for maxusersonline. Do you have any CMS? Old hacks not compatible with your version? In any external files, look for build_datastore(

Are you on a shared or dedicated?
What PHP version you have? Do you have access to php.ini? Is it set inside the date.timezone?

Anyways, to change the timezone on a server is really easy.
To do this, replace your /etc/localtime file with the appropriate timezone data file from /usr/share/zoneinfo folder.
For example, to set everything to Eastern Time, get a shell prompt and replace your /etc/localtime with /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST by typing the following shell commands:

Code:

date
cd /etc
cp -f /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST localtime
date

The first date command will show you the current date/time before you change the timezone. The last date command will show you the new date/time in the timezone that you chosed, which in this example is EST.

How would affect the server date? Curious... thanks.
He could run:

Code:

<?php

date_default_timezone_get();

?>

on a regular file, just to see the results. This works with PHP 5.1.0+

Because the problem isn't his server time, it is correct (at least based on the time the site shows when I visit). The problem that I read stated in the first post was in regards to his What's Going On? box; more specifically showing this, which is caused from corrupt data in the datastore, most likely due to a bad build_datastore function.
