Quoting Sarah Adams mr.sanders@geekjock.ca:
(I posted this question to the "Post installation" forum as well, not sure if I'm more likely to get a response there or here.)
I am a recent convert to Drupal, and have just finished installing and configuring it for a site I'm developing. The only problem I had during the config process was setting the timezone. The site is in the Atlantic timezone (-0400), but when I choose this option currently, the time is one hour behind. I could set the timezone to -0500, but that wouldn't be correct, and I'd have to remember to change it twice a year.
Ugh, DST, http://for-my-kids.com/cms/node/194
Anyway, I found this patch http://drupal.org/node/11077 which seems to do what I need, but I can't get the patch applied. So I have two questions:
Was the patch for _your_ Drupal _version_?
- Right now I'm working on this site on my development server, so I
have shell access and can apply the patch. What happens if I move the site to the client's host and don't have shell access in order to apply the patch?
Development servers are for development, you would deploy to production the code you have in development which would already have the patch applied.
- The patch itself did not work (see below) - any idea why? I'm
guessing maybe there is a more up-to-date version or something, but I have no idea where to look for it.
Probably the patch was for a different Drupal version than you are executing.
