Server Time jumped forward 12 hours.

I've got a question:

Obviously this was cPanel's fault and it is out in the open that someone erred on their end. Why hasn't someone from the company come forward to apologize and offer an official workaround that users have already presented here?

They should have identified exactly what happened, when it happened before and what steps they are taking to ensure this doesn't happen again. Why haven't they done this?

Anyone have any suggestions on a fix for phpbb?

I've got a pretty huge forum that has hundreds of screwed up posts now, and I need to find a solution for this to get them reset and back on track.

Thanks in advance.

Here also. One customer has a phpbb forum on which they cannot post anymore (next post is to soon after initial posting). Is this fixed automatically when we have caught up with the 12 hours (so that the forum time with new posts is after the last posting again)?

Hi there can you give me step by step instructions on how i can do this on my vb forum 3.5.4. Where do i input that string.. and is it like this for e.g. where the red bold bits you see i input the post number? but how will my forum know which thread it is under?

UPDATE post SET dateline = dateline - 43200 WHERE postid <= ID OF LAST AFFECTED POST and postid >= ID OF FIRST AFFECTED POST

yes that would be nice . i havent the foggiest - please post step by step---- baby steps please from the beginning on where to start . Thanks

First check it with "date" to see if it is still wrong. If it is then set the time:

rdate -s time.nist.gov
date

It should now be correct

vB Posts:
UPDATE post SET dateline = dateline - 43200 WHERE postid <= ID OF LAST AFFECTED POST and postid >= ID OF FIRST AFFECTED POST

Then you'll need to update your thread and forum counters in the vBulletin Admin CP

can i also ask something - since this has happened my "new posts " and "todays posts " on vb is not working and some people cant post at all . Does this have to do with the time . Also the last new post showing was made around 6 am which says it was 6pm .

Gotta say this is about the worst thing that could have happened to me... I host close to 100 large auction sites... all items added on all accounts today are all messed up... closed items have been messed up ... Total mess!

Not a peep as yet from cpanel folks!?


Makes for a Mondayish Friday, eh.

This has happened the past 2-3 days to a few of our servers, first time I thought it was a fluke and now this I see that it must be going on during the update. This is the 5th issue I ran into cpanel today after the update.

Very bad things Our forum effect this problem also.....

Would this explain email delivery problems? Messages are just not showing up in user inboxes on a server that experienced this issue.
