config.time_zone = Time.zone || "UTC" is what you are looking for.
The Time.zone command looks into the local time zone set for the user visiting your current page and returns it, if not found it will return the UTC Time zone. In your case looking up the timezone of the server it is running on since its a config. No need to grab it like this because ruby can do it by itself. However, if you want to give users access to their local time zones you should go with an time_zone_select field in user registration and an application_controller before filter, something like this: before_filter :settimezone def settimezone Time.zone = user.timezone || "UTC" (well, change that to whatever, but you get the point) end Hope this can help you.
