(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.
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:
1) 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?
2) 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.
can't find file to patch at input line 88 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

TIA for any clues as to what I've done wrong!
