5	PHP iCalendar should default to Eastern time zone	andersk		"(Imported from [https://help.mit.edu/Ticket/Display.html?id=397407 help.mit.edu #397407].)

jceggles:
  I exported my TechTime calendar as an iCal and uploaded it to PHP iCalender and the events are 4 hours off. I've been looking online and don't see a fix for this. Since the Oracle calendar is in wide use here, I figure somebody is doing this.

geofft:
  Hm, a 4-hour time discrepancy sounds rather like PHP iCalendar not knowing about your time zone - and indeed, the standard config file defaults to GMT.
  
  If you edit the file ""config.inc.php"" in your install directory, you will see a line about one screen down with the text:
  
  {{{
$timezone = '';
  }}}
  
  Change this line to read:
  
  {{{
$timezone = 'US/Eastern';
  }}}
  
  This should introduce the proper 4-hour time difference from GMT. Let us know if iCalendar continues to give you problems.
