Sync Time with Server Time after reboot

[AndyX]

When my dedicated server is rebooted I need to manually do this in order for the time on XenForo to be correct:

WHM -> Server Time -> Sync Time with Server Time

How can I automate this process during reboot?

Hey Andy, see if this thread is of any use to you:

Server time incorrect after reboot

Hello, I have cPanel/WHM 78.0.21 installed on a CloudLinux 7.6 VPS. The CloudLinux installation is a conversion from a CentOS 7 minimal installation. However, every time I reboot the server, the time is incorrect, and I must sync it with the time server through WHM. Is there a reason why this...

Thank you for the link, Infopro. I saw that link but I'm afraid I don't understand it.

NTP is Network Time Protocol. This link may help explain it a bit more:

I found this link to be helpful:

Question, is NTP normally installed on CENTOS with WHM/cPanel? Or is it required to be installed manually?

 

[Infopro]

It's not installed by default normally that I'm aware of but is an available package from CentOS repositories for manual install.

I followed the information from this link and it resolved the issue.
