For some reason when updating a record, updated_at is getting updated as 2011-01-23, even though Date.today is returning 2011-01-22. Why are these different? Is there a way to set them to be the same?

Thanks!

    By default, Rails uses UTC as the timezone for all created_at and updated_at fields. You can override this by setting a custom timezone in config/application.rb:

    config.time_zone = 'Central Time (US & Canada)'

    You can run rake time:zones:all from your application directory to get a list of all valid time zones.
