The time under which your WHASOLS installation will run is based on the server clock and the timezone setting in your PHP configuration. If the time displayed in WHASOLS is incorrect, there are two options for correcting it:

Changing the server clock may not be desirable if you host clients on the server. It also requires root access, so the second option is best for the majority of users. Some hosting providers allow you to change the PHP configuration on an individual directory by creating a php.ini file within the WHASOLS directory. In that situation, you could add the following line:

date.timezone=Karachi/Asia

For a full list of the available timezone localities you can use, see the PHP list of timezones.

Contact your hosting provider or server administrator if you are unsure of how to customise the PHP configuration of your server.

In most cases, the PHP configuration for your WHASOLS installation is different than the one that you use on the command line. It's important to ensure the timezone WHMSOL's PHP configuration uses is the same as the one in the PHP configuration the command line uses, and, by extension, the PHP configuration that the cron job is using.

If this is different, you will find that your cron job is executing at an unexpected or different time from the setting at Configuration () > System Settings > Automation Settings.

To check this, run the following command at the server command line while logged in as the same user under whom the cron job is running:

php -ini | grep "date.timezone"

You can compare the output of this command to the date.timezone set in the PHP configuration your WHASOLS installation is using by navigating to System Status > PHP Info in sidebar menu. If they are different, you will need to work with your hosting provider or server administrator to set the same date.timezone in the PHP configuration your WHASOLS installation is using and the one for the command line on the server.
