Here's an interesting problem:
Zoneminder shows the normal computer time and date on its webadmin page. My computer shows the same time and date when questioned. However, on a camera view, the logged date is one day ahead. The time is correct.
Does anyone have any ideas how this happened, and how I fix it?
Thanks,
Adam
Incorrect logging date
Linux Details
My details are as follows:
Linux version - Ubuntu 6.10
Time set to BST (syncing to ntp.ubuntu.com)
I didn't notice whether it worked prior to an upgrade or not. This is the first time I've installed Zoneminder and the server itself is only a few months old (installation wise).
The logging clock is exactly one day ahead. Currently it's April 6, 22:33 and that's what zmadmin shows. The camera monitor shows 07/04/07 22:33.

PUBLIC APOLOGY:
To all who have wasted time reading this thread - I am a complete klutz! There was nothing wrong at all with the logging date - I was just reading it wrong!
Explanation:
On Friday April 6, the date read: 07/04/06
(I read this as April 7, and completely missed the 06 reference)
On Saturday April 7, the date read: 07/04/07
(I read this as April 7, correctly!)
Today, Sunday April 8, the date read: 07/04/08
(I initially thought "oh no, the year's gone funny" until I realised my complete stupidity!)
So, profuse apologies to all who took the time to read my thread. Please feel free to laugh heartily at my expense ...

Some times it's the small details that always seen to be over looked as most are used to a different format and we are all good at getting set in what we expect.
