My computer time reported by asterisk server or php database is 6hr ahead.
Why?

My desktop clock is correct, and command line date reporting local
time as well.
My /etc/conf.d/hwclock
clock=local
clock_hctosys=YES
clock_systohc=YES

Should I set clock=UTC? I'm running Windows via VirtualBox and I know
windows is using local time.


Try setting Windows to use UTC time instead:

It's what I use here for years and never had a problem with it.

I set: clock=UTC
Everything would work OK if I was able to set via user home directory 
.bash_profile
TZ=Canada/Mountain

but this is not helping, my desktop time is still behind 6hr. (server programs 
are showing correct time though).
Do I need to run an additional command after updating user  .bash_profile?
I just log OUT/IN but it is not reflecting my time zone.

The link I posted was about setting Windows to UTC time, not Linux.
