| Is the time zone set correctly on the server? BTW, is this a Dedicated server or a VPS?

| Login as root to the server, first execute the command to display the current date and time,
#date
Now, execute in this format to set the new date and time:
root@myserver [~]# date --set='Wed Aug 27 22:00:00 CDT 2008'
then again execute command #date see if it has changed. Hope this will help.

| Thanks,
It's Dedicated server ,
I select GMT time from control Panel (WHM), But the server time is not correct as real GMT time, it's less by 23 minutes
I execute that command , But nothing changed in the server clock time
Right now GMT is (12:07PM) but the time shown in my server is (11:44 AM)
