Re: [jira] [Resolved] (VCL-979) install script - prompt for timezine
during installation
Hi Josh,
I've tested the vcl-install.sh script and it works fine. It changed the
time zone in conf.php.
One thing I would like to suggest is that it would be great if we
automatically set the timezone.
I found that we can get the timezone information from localtime and we
might automatically assign it to the TIMEZONE variable in the
vcl-install.sh.
==================================================================================
For example, in CentOS 7, we can get the local timezone information from
localtime
# ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 38 Aug 7 22:48 /etc/localtime ->
../usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York
Then, parsing
# ls -l /etc/localtime | awk -F/ '{print $7 "/" $8}'
America/New_York
Set the value in vcl-install.sh
TIMEZONE=`ls -l /etc/localtime | awk -F/ '{print $7 "/" $8}'`
===================================================================================
Thanks,
Young

Young,
I tried to come up with a way to automatically detect and set the timezone,
but I couldn't come up with anything I felt was reliable enough. I don't
think the list in /usr/share/zoneinfo matches the list of timezones supported
by php closely enough to do this automatically. Also, copying the file from
/usr/share/zoneinfo to /etc/localtime is allowed, in which case it wouldn't
be a link at all.
