Hmm. You are probably very similar to my setup (ubuntu 12.04, Postgres 9.1), and my Postgres install did manage to use the system timezone. I would check two things: 1) /etc/timezone 2) run psql and execute 'show timezone;' If those values look reasonable, then I'm out of suggestions.

Thanks, but looking at /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/postgresql.conf i have the following: #timezone = '(defaults to server environment setting)' #timezone_abbreviations = 'Default' # Select the set of available time zone # abbreviations. Currently, there are # Default # Australia # India # You can create your own file in # share/timezonesets/.
So i assume it should get the time from the ubuntu machine it runs on. I have not done any configuration to the postgresql database. Only installing it.

Postgres generally stores datatime fields in GMT, and then translates them to the local time zone when generating a query. Check the TimeZone variable in your postgres.conf.

Hi I have quite a strange issue. I have a local install of Galaxy setup. When I type 'date' on my Ubuntu machine I get something like:
Wed Jun 18 09:25:22 EST 2014
When i then execute a job and look in the database at the create_time i.e.
# select create_time from job order by create_time;
I get
2014-06-17 23:20:00.133828
So about 10 hours different. Is there some configuration I need to set as Brisbane is 10hrs ahead of GMT (coincidence?)
Thanks Neil
