  • Timezone-Problem importing google calendar ical

    Hi,

    I try to import my google calendar ical into my OXCE account.
    The ics-file is accepted and imported, but all the appointments are now 2 hours later, than they should be.

    SystemTimeZone!=OXTimezone

    He,
    i have the same Problem, and find out what's about. OXChang has it's own timzone-configuration. But sry i don't know where the config file is.

      same issue here



      Dont know how old this thread is but I have the same issue as described above,

      My server clocks, workstation clocks, and time zone information are all set to gmt +2 Africa/Johannesburg. Yet if person A sends to B the person B shows that the time increased by 4 hours.

      If I look on the web interface it shows the correct time sent, but outlook shows a 4 hour increase, also if i sent directly from the webmail interface a 4 hour increase is displayed in outlook. So its definitly a OX server config issue somewhere. I changed the refrences in the config files to Africa/Johannesburg, and the groupware log also displays that it boots up in Africa/Johannesburg.

      Where am i going wrong?

        I think you can resolve this by playing with the way your system clock is set. It depends on if you set it to UTC or your local time.

          Thanks Gertjan

          Yeah I assumed the same, but then I read on some posts that OX doesnt really care about the system time etc etc etc. Even though I did set the system timezone to Africa/Johannesburg it still didnt work.

          Not being too fond of graphical administrative tools, I just ran tzselect slapped in Africa and Johannesburg (effectively gmt+2) it calculated the proper ofset and woooooooop it workz now. Not entirely sure what it changed but hell its working so making a backup and not touching timezones again
