I have JumpBox 1.0.2 for Trac. When I boot up the machine in VMware Server 1.0.4 the JumpBox screen appears once fully booted and displays normal networking information.
It also displays a "Last Refreshed" date and time of: Sun January 13 12:41:11 EST 2008.
This causes all the new tickets, changes, etc. that I enter into Trac to have a date of January 13th on the timeline when of course it should be January 15th.
Anyone have some of ideas of what is going on or what I can try?
Thanks!
Time & Date Not Changing
Hi,
This is a bit perplexing. My first question is, are you REALLY rebooting the JumpBox or are you just suspending and resuming the JumpBox? Lets try shutting the JumpBox down through the JumpBox Admin webpage. This will remove any ambiguity about whether its shutting down or suspending. Choose shutdown at this point. While the JumpBox is off, look at its VMWare config file and look for a line like this tools.syncTime = "FALSE", if that is actually FALSE, change it to TRUE. Now start the JumpBox back up. That setting shouldn't cause this issue, but it should be set anyway, and could prevent this problem.
If this doesn't seem to make a difference, enable shell access, SSH into the JumpBox as the admin user and run the following:
Let me know how it goes.

I double checked to make
I double checked to make sure that the JumpBox was shutting down by doing it through the JumpBox Admin page and that didn't fix the problem.
I enabled shell access and used the "sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org" command which successfully updated the Time and Date on the JumpBox, but then I noticed that after an hour or so it would start falling behind in time and after 24 hours it would be offset from the current time by ~ 3 hours.
tools.syncTime was set to FALSE so I changed that to true and after 24 hours it seems to be displaying the correct time and date. I'll check periodically to make sure it's not "losing time", but I think this fixed it. Thank you so much for the help!
