Comment 2 for bug 445873

I tracked down the problem. When I tried to connect with a seperate frontend, it was dying complaining that the server timezone was different - BST instead of Europe/London. So I checked, and /etc/localtime was different on the 2 machines. The server has been ubuntu since about version 6.04, whereas the client is a fresh install. So I'm assuming that at some point in the past, /etc/localtime was set up to use BST. I changed it to a symlink to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London, that fixed the frontend connection problem. I then undid the change I'd made to MythBackend.php, and that now works with the new timezone value too. Whether this just moves the bug or clears it I don't know.
