I am trying to change my server time. I tried many methods many none worked.

I tried Jaryl's Guide

 cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Manila /etc/localtime 

 

but it says

cp: accessing '/etc/localtime/: too many levels of symbolic links

How can I fix this? Help please

Hi qyxz1412,

 

Please use these commands in your SSH/Terminal;

 

rm -rf /etc/localtime
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Manila /etc/localtime

 

These commands are CaSe-SenSiTivE, so please type it exactly the way I have presented it here; enjoy!
