Joomla: Setting Server Time Zone
It is not uncommon to have a website display the site's date and time (as opposed to the local system date and time). If you are using joomla you have plenty of resources to do that: some templates include the time and if not some components will allow you to show it.
But then you realize that the date/time being displayed is the GMT time. In case you want to change that all you have to do is to login into your Joomla installation's administrator site and choose Global Configuration on the Control Panel.
The Global Configuration page will show up. There you will find a Time Zone combo box where you can choose your site's time zone to whatever value you want. In my case I chose GMT-5:00.
As usual I hope someone will find this post useful.

Thank you, I visited several sites and message boards with confusing detailed code to work on this. You screen shots and info helped a lot.
Thanks, Joe http://finditmall.com
This is useful. I just adjusted our magazine, culturemagazine.ca
when I tried to change the timezone, I got an error message saying "An Error has occurred! Unable to open configuration.php file to write!"
I checked the chmod properties for configuration.php and it's 777.
what could be wrong?
