I'm no expert, but doesn't apache default to using utc? See
http://articles.techrepublic.com.com...3-6016329.html for
a description of converting times to localtimes, in javascript.

OP may also want to check if BIOS clock is set to UTC or local time, and
that the OS has the correct info.

cat /etc/sysconfig/clock

will show what the OS has.

Yes, BIOS is set to UTC. Mandriva displays the correct time however (BST in
my case).

cat /etc/sysconfig/clock
UTC=true
ARC=false
ZONE=Europe/London

I thought there'd be something in the apache config to correct but can't
find anything and no clues in the apache documentation or Googling.

So would changing UTC=true to false sort this?
What does the ARC=false bit do?

I don't know how to get apache to display localtime, intstead of utc, but

From /usr/share/doc/initscripts-8.51/sysconfig.txt ...

ARC=true on alpha only indicates the ARC console's
42-year time offset is in effect; otherwise the normal
Unix epoch is assumed.
