You'll have to have MySQL root access, or an account with access to write to the database `mysql` for this, but this should help you. 1.) Type mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo | /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -p -u root mysql 2.) A bunch of errors may appear, but you can ignore them. 3.) Run "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mysql.time_zone_name;" again. You should have more than 500 rows now. -- </Dan> Daniel P.
