I think someone meant /usr/share/zoneinfo. /etc/localtime is usually
a copy/symlink to the appropriate file under that directory.
Does 'date' give you the correct timezone?
Is your CMOS clock running UTC or local time (see adjkerntz(1))?
If date says the right thing I'd say you have a problem with your
Apache config.
Share and enjoy,
