Arizona DST Issue

Arizona doesnt abide by Daylight Savings Time...

It seems we have a small bug in the local time part of Vicidial. Basically since the DST switch this weekend our system is off by 1 hour. The time at the top right of the page and what Vicidial sees as time is 1 hour ahead of actual system time. However, the 'call time' sees the actual system time so this causes the call time to start in the negative (i.e. -59:-23).

I simply switched the timezone on the system to pacific time and that fixed the problem but I am curios if there is another solution i am not seeing or there is just a small bug in the programming.

Thanks all for your help

I think that's an issue with how you set up Linux. VICIDIAL knows about Arizona and the few zipcodes in AZ that do use DST. Take a look at the zipcode DST file.

That is what i initially thought also however my linux time is correct and responding as it should to DST. Is there a different time config for apache?

Are your leads set properly for time zone?

What is the output on the adjust_GMT script when you run it manually?

Are you using zipcode to set timezones?
