At my company, we're trying to move our Redmine installation from a Mac server in the East coast to a Windows server in the West coast. I'd also like to take advantage of the move to upgrade Redmine from 1.1.2 to 2.0.3.
We've successfully installed Redmine on Windows and performed the migration. We can see users, projects, issues, etc. There are no plugins installed. Despite that success, the timestamps are off by 3 hours (the offset between the two time zones.) For instance, if an issue was created on July 20th at 8am ET, it'll show up as 8am PT, so East-coast users would see 11am.
I've tried playing with the Windows time settings (changing the time zone to ET, installing while on ET and then changing to PT, etc.), but nothing seems to work. Thus, I'm guessing Redmine uses some sort of MySQL configuration, but I haven't been able to find what it could be.
I found Redmine defect 10996, but the script shown there is specific to PostgreSQL and I don't know how it would translate to MySQL. Given this defect, I tried using Redmine 1.4.4, but the results were exactly the same.
I think that I should be able to add/modify something in the DB import script generated by mysqldump, or run a DB command before or after importing the script, but I don't know what it could be. I don't think the problem might be caused by the difference in OS; I just think I'd see a different offset if that were the case.
Does anybody know what the solution might be in this case?
