That way you can debug from within the Lazarus-ide. When you deploy your application, you can compile as FastCGI.

To: Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hi, I have a linux application where I use DatetimeToUnix. I think it contains a bug. Every minute I put a sample in an rrddb (rrdtool). When I dump the rrddb, the time of the samples is 2 hours in the future. Those 2 hours happen to be the time-zone difference, between UTC and CEST. Anyone can verify this ? This is what I used to test this : program DateTest; {$ifdef FPC}{$mode objfpc}{$h+}{$INTERFACES CORBA}{$endif} {$ifdef mswindows}{$apptype console}{$endif} uses {$ifdef FPC}{$ifdef linux}cthreads,{$endif}{$endif} sysutils, dateutils; var Nu : TDateTime; begin Nu:=Now; writeln(nu:1:8,' ',DateTimeToStr(nu),' ',DatetimeToUnix(Nu)); end. When I run "./DateTest && date +%s && date" I get : 40009.44713685 15-7-09 10:43:52 1247654632 1247647432 wo jul 15 10:43:52 CEST 2009 Between the fpc-version and the linux-version of the unix-time there is 7200 seconds difference, fpc running ahead. Is it a bug, or am I missing someting ? This happens with FPC 2.4.

So by definition it does not perform any time zone adjustments (which is logical, since there is no information regarding what time zone the input value is related to). It's the same in Delphi (just google for DatetimeToUnix+timezone If you want "now" using the local time zone, use sysutils.getlocaltime instead.
