A custom timezone cannot be set by a VPS owner. The timezone as set on the node is uesed by VPS. At times, depending on their geographical location users need a custom timezone . sys_time needs to be enabled on your node for a VPS to set it\u2019s own time.<\/p>\n

Please schedule a maintenance window because it involves a VPS reboot. Typically a maintenance window of 10 to 15 minutes is sufficient .<\/p>\n

Login to your node and execute the commands as mention below.<\/p>\n

#vzctl stop
\n#vzctl set \u2013save \u2013capability sys_time:on
\n#vzctl start<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now you can try changing the timezone OR date on your VPS.<\/p>\n

#ln -fs \/usr\/share\/zoneinfo\/Asia\/Calcutta \/etc\/localtime<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you face any difficulty please feel free to contact our support team or if in case you wish to set a different timezone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
