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
