How to Change your Default Timezone in htaccess

Changing Your Default Timezone:

The default time zone setting that is displayed in the Preferences>Global folder is used to localize the time for received messages and calendar activities in the standard web client.

1) Log in to your cPanel

2) Click on the File Manager icon

3) Click on Setings which you will find at the top right corner.

4) Click on the dropdown and Document Root for your domain name.

5) Set the Show Hidden Files

6) Click the Go button

7) Look for the .htaccess file and right-click on it

8) Click on the Edit option

9) Find and click the Edit button in the lower right corner to continue to the editor.

10) Now In this example, we are setting the timezone to Eastern Standard Time.

#Adjust default time zone
SetEnv TZ America/Washington

11) Click Save Changes button to save your new htaccess configuration.

                                                Or

If htaccess can’t solve your problem, add this code to your PHP

<?php

putenv(“TZ=Europe/Istanbul”);
?>
