    Hello,

    I am having a vps account with whm/cpanel installed on it. I am not able to change the time zone through Whm >> Server Configuration >> Server Time

    The current time zone is set as that of Africa. When I try to change to America/Costa_Rica time zone i get the message

    Local TimeZone has been set to America/Costa_Rica

    but the time is still showing the africa time zone.

    Any help would be highly appreciated,

    Whatever time zone you set, when you go back to that page, Africa will be shown by default. You can verify this looking at the timezone code when you go back to the page. For America/Costa_Rica it should read as CST.

    I suppose in VPS account it will only show the server's time.

    Have you tried synchronizing the time by clicking Sync Time with Time Server?

    If you are using OpenVZ, your host can modify the date for you. You simply can't do it either at the prompt or from the WHM. For more information on how to change the date/timezone for your VPS go to: http://servertune.com/kbase/entry/50

    To simplify things: HyperVM is used to manage OpenVZ or Xen VPSs.
