How To Synchronize the Server Clock

Introduction

If a cPanel server has the system time offset and the clock is skewed by several minutes, this can cause many issues, such as SSL errors.

Procedure

1. Log into WHM as the ‘root’ user.
2. Navigate to "Home / Server Configuration / Server Time."
3. Click on the "Sync Time with Time Server" button.

Please note that some virtualized systems, such as Virtuozzo, inherit the clock from the host node. These systems cannot change the clock from within the container. It must be done on the host system.
