Adjusting System Date and Time

You can manually set the server date and time through the interface and enable server time synchronization with the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.

To adjust the system date and time settings:

  1. Select the Server shortcut in the navigation pane.
  2. Click System Time on the Server administration page.
  3. Edit the time and date settings as desired, and click Set.
  4. Select your time zone from the list, and click Set.

    You will need to reboot your Plesk server for the time zone change to take effect.

  5. To synchronize your server time with that of a server running the Network Time Protocol, select the Synchronize system time checkbox. Once this checkbox is checked, this function is enabled.
  6. Enter a valid IP address or a domain name and click Set.

Note. Enabling the Synchronize system time function will override any time and date you manually enter in the System Date and Time fields. It is also important to be sure the domain name or IP address you enter for synchronization is a valid NTP server. If not, this function will not work and your server will continue running with its current time settings.
