Wrong time

[ReYMoNPVR]

I am using this line to display time:
<cfoutput>#TimeFormat(Now(), "hh:mm:ss tt")#</cfoutput></p>
but, it displays a wrong time.

The server and the client machines have the same date and time.
From where does it take the time?

Could you provide an example of the bad time? For example, at 5 p.m., what does it display? Now() takes the date time from the server.

This is an example:
at 5 p.m. it displays 9 p.m.
Could you tell me please how to change the server time?

Hello.

If this is a unix box, type date at the command prompt. On a windows box,
check the system time on the taskbar. if that time is correct then you just
need to cf (technically the jvm, but...) that you are in a particular timezone.

In the coldfusion administrator, under Java and jvm options, in JVM Arguments,
add
-Duser.timezone=America/Chicago

replacing America/Chicago with the proper timezone for your area.
