Today I set an Away Schedule.
My Joomla Configuration and User Profile are set to Los_Angeles timezone.
I used a php.ini file in my site root to set "site" time to Los_Angeles timezone.
I used WHM MultiPHP INI Editor to set all PHP7.2 sites on my hosting account to Los_Angeles timezone.
When I navigate to sitename/phpinfo.php, the date section of the report shows the Local and Master value of date.timezone to be Los_Angeles.
At 10:50 here Los_Angeles time, when I navigate to backend Admin Tools > Configure WAF,
the blue-box message shows server time = 17:50.
OK. My clock says 10:50. Admin Tools says 17:50. That's UTC.
I want an Away Schedule of 01:00 to 07:00 Los_Angeles time,
so I calculate that I will need to enter 08:00 to 14:00 in the Away Schedule UTC fields.
I enter those values at 10:50 here.
I click Save.
I am instantly locked out.
:-O
I'm not joking.
I have several hours of work that I need to do right now, and I cannot access the backend of that site. I guess I will be locked out until 14:00 Los_Angeles time?
I should have tested it with a 5 minute interval, but my impression after our prior conversation was that we were all confident that we knew exactly how the thing worked.
Either I am being really stupid about how Away Schedule works, or something is not working the way you say it should work.
Any idea which it is?
