Enter the required timezone for the webserver.

In system/startup.php find below code :

find :

if (!ini_get('date.timezone')) { date_default_timezone_set('UTC'); }

replace :

if (!ini_get('date.timezone')) { date_default_timezone_set('DST'); }

I've just tried it, not working, it's returning me the same time as before. – Amin Apr 10 '18 at 07:03
date_default_timezone_set('United Kingdom/West Sussex'); – Radhika Apr 10 '18 at 07:10
That's not a [valid time zone identifier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones). You should use `Europe/London` instead. – Matt Johnson-Pint Apr 12 '18 at 17:18
