title: MySQL 'select now()' out of sync with linux 'date'
body: <p><em>(I hope someone can solve this quick sharp because this is on my production server)</em></p>
  
  <p>It's really in the title. I thought mysql got its datetime from the machine it is installed on... well I was wrong!</p>
  
  <p>currently its 2.30pm</p>
  
  <p>linux says its 2.30pm</p>
  
  <p>MySQL says its 9.30am?!?!</p>
  
  <p>What should I do because it's date stamping everything in the database with the wrong time?</p>
