I have my checked my environment.rb
config.time_zone = 'Prague'
Nothing in development.rb regarding time
This seems to work, in theory…
Time.zone.now # Thu, 10 Sep 2009 17:51:35 CEST +02:00
also correct…
Time.now # Thu Sep 10 17:52:10 +0200 2009
mysql... SELECT NOW() # 2009-09-10 17:53:48
correct!
but when I create a new record in rails or update an old one
Item.create(:price => price, :spots => beds) # 2009-09-10 15:55:28
and have restarted rails many many times!
It looks like it is saving it in UTC (GMT time), which is two hours earlier than your local time. To a large extent creation times are better stored in UTC –> you then translate them upon viewing.
EDIT: The Timestamp class seems to indicate that the local timestamp is supposed to be used. You may want to check the setting the documentation indicates.
