PHP time() around 70 seconds off

  • 772

As the title suggest a server I am running is producing a timestamp created by the PHP time() function that is about 60-70 slow.

The server did not have this problem and it has come out of the blue.

I have checked the time produced with servers on the same host and on unixtime websites but the problem server is consistently giving the wrong time.

Obviously not a timezone issue being only 70 seconds. It could well be an exact minute off but I have no idea how that could be set anywhere?

This is a centos6 OS.

  1. Install chrony (yum install chrony)

    You can view the difference to NTP-servers chronyc sources

    To synchronize time with NTP-servers: chronyc makestep

    Enable/Start daemon to stay synced chkconfig chronyd on and /etc/init.d/chronyd start
