Via SSH I print the current date of my server, which is correct based on my location:

SSH

When I run SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES on MySQL, I have time_zone = SYSTEM - which makes me think MySQL will be using the system date and time.

However, when I run SELECT CURRENT_TIME it returns to me a result that looks like it's in another time zone (ignore the diff in minutes due to the time I took between both snapshots):

SQL

Is there any other necessary configuration to make CURRENT_TIME in MySQL reflect exactly the same system date time?

  • Run these statements please: SELECT NOW(); and SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'time_zone' to see you session's variable value. – Jehad Keriaki Feb 15 '18 at 20:47
  • @JehadKeriaki, SELECT NOW(); returned the time four hours less than the System hour and SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'time_zone' returned SYSTEM – Adriano Castro Feb 16 '18 at 10:14
  • `SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%zone%'; – Rick James Feb 20 '18 at 3:01
  • @RickJames, thanks, man! system_time_zone shows CST while it should be GMT-3 (my timezone). Now it's a matter of how to change it. – Adriano Castro Feb 20 '18 at 19:31
  • @AdrianoCastro - That's an Operating System question. – Rick James Feb 20 '18 at 21:41

Solved, not through MySQL, but in my WHM > Server Configuration > Server Time, then clicked on Sync Time with Time Server.
