Time change Help!

Hello Everyone,

I am having a bit of an issue, I cannot for the life of me get the time to change to show a 12 hour format, It is in the right time zone but i cannot get it to change. I currently use Centos 6.5 with centminmod script LEMP setup. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Jake

In the console? In a log? Where?

The application you're using should provide a way to alter the display. For the date command, you'd do the following:

$ date
Wed Nov 12 00:06:18 EST 2014
$ date +'%a %b %e %I:%M:%S%p %Z %Y'
Wed Nov 12 12:06:20AM EST 2014

What program is it that you need to change the display in?

My apologies, I should have been a little more descriptive, this is in the console.

[root@server ~]# date +'%a %b %e %I:%M:%S%p %Z %Y'
Tue Nov 11 11:33:29PM CST 2014
[root@server ~]# date
Tue Nov 11 23:33:33 CST 2014
[root@server ~]#

The issue is I use a forum software, xenforo. As you can see whenever, I issued that command you provided it shows the 12 hour format I am looking for. But entering "date" again resorts back to the default 24 format. I am trying to change this on CentOS, so it displays correctly on my website. I hope that clarifies what issue I am having

It's unlikely the console date format is used in your app. Most apps (like PHPBB) have a setup/preference section where you set the date/time format.

Google "xenforo time format" comes up with several hits that seem like what you're looking for.
