[HACKERS] Can't detect time zone
Any reason why postgres can't detect time zone on my machine automatically? LOG: could not recognize system timezone, defaulting to "Etc/GMT-8" HINT: You can specify the correct timezone in postgresql.conf. postmaster starting -bash-2.05b$ LOG: database system was shut down at 2004-05-31 15:19:00 GMT-8 LOG: checkpoint record is at 0/A47C80 LOG: redo record is at 0/A47C80; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE LOG: next transaction ID: 536; next OID: 17218 LOG: database system is ready -bash-2.05b$ date Mon May 31 15:21:10 WST 2004 ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])

I'm getting the same message, albeit Etc/GMT-10. If anyone who hacked on the TZ code (Magnus, Bruce, ...) wants me to add a few printfs to trace this down, pleae get in touch with me.

Yeah, I set australian_timezones to true in my postgresql.conf and it still fails. Chris ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

So what *is* your zone, exactly? I don't see how you expect us to figure out why it's not matching when we don't know what it's not matching. There already are some debug printouts in CVS tip. If you set log_min_messages to debug4 or debug5 you should get reams of log messages about why each tested TZ setting didn't seem to match the system's timezone. If you could send along the output for the zones that seem like reasonable candidates to match, it'd help. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match

In my case, one of these should be right: DEBUG: Reject TZ "Australia/NSW": at 1086048000 "EST" versus "AUS Eastern Standard Time" DEBUG: Reject TZ "Australia/Sydney": at 1086048000 "EST" versus "AUS Eastern Standard Time" I imagine Christopher ought to be matching one of these two; presumably with an error message as per above except with "WST" and "Western". DEBUG: Reject TZ "Australia/Perth": at 1086048000 2004-06-01 08:00:00 std versus 2004-06-01 10:00:00 std DEBUG: Reject TZ "Australia/West": at 1086048000 2004-06-01 08:00:00 std versus 2004-06-01 10:00:00 std Cheers, Claudio --- Certain disclaimers and policies apply to all email sent from Memetrics.
