Linux server's datetime is wrong and how to fix
Use this when your Linux server's datetime is wrong. Basically, all you have to do is sync with a reliable NTP server (ex. my-ntp-server.com):
1. First, make sure the server is set with the right timezone (ex. Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh):
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
2. Sync it with a local NTP server:
$ sudo ntpdate my-tp-server.com
The Time on the Linux server should be correct now.
3. Furthermore, you can install ntpd. It synchronizes the clock for you, doing so continuously in the background:
* Install ntpd:
$ sudo apt-get install ntp
* Config ntpd:
$ sudo nano /etc/ntp.conf
* Add your reliable NTP server:
server my-ntp-server.com
* Restart ntpd:
$ sudo service ntp restart
