How to change server time on Ubuntu 14.04

It's a very simple but useful way to change the server default timezone by location if you use Ubuntu 14.

Simply just use this code to change the default timezone:

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

After this, you should get this screen:

 

If it does not work you should try this method:

 

1. Open php.ini (PHP configuration file)
2. Set your timezone – for example I set to Europe/Budapest – here is the full list of the PHP timezones 

   date.timezone = "Europe/Budapest";

3. Restart Apache

 

Please follow the instructions, it’s very simple. I hope it helps a lot. :)
