CF Server TimeZone location

Question

I am new to CF. I am having an issue were CF is displaying
the wrong timezone information. I have CF 6.1. If I run the
"setting summary" from the admin page the time that is says the
report is generated is wrong. I can not find the right place to
adjust that setting. The sever time is correct.
Does anyone know where that setting is pulled from?

OS/JDK.
what does this report?
<cfscript>
tz=createObject("java","java.util.TimeZone").getDefault();
tzName=tz.getDisplayName(true,tz.LONG);
writeoutput("tz:=#tzName#");
</cfscript>
if it's not what you expect, make sure the OS's tz is set
correctly & set the
JDK's tz via system param:
- find the jvm.config file either in cf_root/runtime/bin or
jrun_root/bin
- make a backup
- find out teh tz ID you want
- carefully add the following to the end of the java.args
line
-Duser.timezone="your_TimeZoneID_goes_here"
- stop & restart the cf server service.
