Well ... - user prefs: works, but is obviously not automatically detected There isn't anything to detect. Either it's set or not. If not, is uses the default which is determined by the following rules. - date.timezone php.ini setting: see my previous comment. Is there any other relevant timezone info in php? No. If that doesn't work, you need to track down why. The timezone is set in Horde/Registry.php. [Show Quoted Text - 9 lines][Hide Quoted Text] - TZ environment variable: according to docs, no TZ variable in Ubuntu. cat /etc/timezone reads Europe/Berlin. - UTC: I would like to avoid that. :-) I can live with manually setting the time zone in preferences, but it still seems like a bug to me that I have to do that. If there is anything I can do to help, please do not hesitate to ask.

Where does horde get its "Default" time zone from? In descending precedence: - user prefs - date.timezone php.ini setting - TZ environment variable - UTC

I did not change any configuration at all during the upgrade. "UTC" is active. As far as I understand it, if I had changed this option, the problem would be permanent. But if I set the time zone to Europe/Berlin manually, everything works just fine. I did not upgrade from 3.x to 5.x, but from 4.x to 5.x. Besides, devices synchronizing via SyncML or ActiveSync are not affected: The time is still correct everywhere but in horde. If I set Europe/Berlin manually, it is correct in horde as well. Where does horde get its "Default" time zone from?

Works just fine here. Did you change the UTC flag in the Kronolithconfiguration during the upgrade?

phpinfo() says: Default timezone Europe/Berlin I haven't changed this in a very long time, if ever. The problem did not occur with previous horde versions on the same apache/php basis.

Events in Kronolith are one hour off after upgrading from horde 4 to horde 5. When the current time zone is changed manually from "Default" to "Europe/Berlin", the information is displayed correctly. Could it be that your timezone in 'php.ini' is set to some other value than 'Europe/Berlin'?
