My phpinfo() shows:
"Olson" Timezone Database Version 0.system
Instead of installing the pecl module, isnt it better if I can update the system timezone database / system?
How can I do that?
I'm ona RHEL5/CentOS system.

that would do it for the system? – siliconpi Oct 20 '10 at 09:13

That will update anything that can reasonably called the "system timezone database". – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Oct 20 '10 at 09:16

Sorry to bother you, but how can I check the system timezone version? And I assume yum install tzdata should work fine to update? – siliconpi Oct 21 '10 at 12:05

`rpm -q tzdata`, and if there's an update then yum will find it. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Oct 21 '10 at 14:35

This is slightly weird... rpm -q tzdata says: tzdata-2010l-1.el5 But ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ shows: tzcode2010m.tar.gz (notice the "m" version). – siliconpi Oct 22 '10 at 11:14

When I try doing yum install tzdata it says: Package tzdata-2010l-1.el5.x86_64 already installed and latest version – siliconpi Oct 22 '10 at 11:16

Unfortunately it looks like Red Hat hasn't gotten around to packaging 2010m yet, which is why CentOS doesn't have it. You can either wait a bit longer, or rebuild the SRPM yourself. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Oct 22 '10 at 14:02

For me it works in CentOS 6 (package: tzdata-2011l-4.el6.noarch) and doesn't work in CentOS5 (package: tzdata-2011g-1.el5) – Mikhail.Mamaev Dec 10 '11 at 12:57

If you are using CentOS 6, then just upgrade package:
[sudo] yum update tzdata
For CentOS 5, copy timezone file from CentOS 6 to your /etc/localtime on CentOS 5 and wait for upgrade being released
