Question

We have a problem with Editing files. The timestamp saved is RCS is getting corrupted somehow to some random date in the future.

eg. Here is the modified date of the RCS file

-r--r--r--    1 www      www          8.7k Sep 23 17:54 GenQueue.txt,v

Here is timestamp inside the file:

head   1.1;
access;
symbols;
locks
   www:1.1; strict;
comment   @# @;


1.1
date   2003.10.26.20.48.00;   author loren;   state Exp;
branches;
next   ;
.....

Notice that this date is almost a month in advance.

Unfortunately this has been happening a lot. I have a lot of frustrated users as they can't save and have force an edit.

One thing to note that our Timezone is NZST (New Zealand Standard Time) which means we are 12 hours ahead of UTC.

Any ideas on how to fix

Cheers John Clegg

Answer

John - its just possible that this will be resolved with the changes that I made for AlwaysServerTimeZone. There was a problem when you edit a topic before the lock time expired.

one thing you could try is to set the $editLockTime in TWiki.cfg to 0 (temporarily)

I'd be very interested to see how you go with this
