Changing Linux Server’s Time Zone.

Timezone information for your system is defined in the /etc/localtime file. By changing this file you can change time zone for your
server.

You don’t need to modify this file manually. /usr/share/zoneinfo/ folder contains time zone files you would need. Let’s say that we want set the time zone for our server to Europe/Amsterdam. Then following command would be enough to change our time zone.

cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Amsterdam /etc/localtime
