Correct Timezone Setting in Config?

[billjoseph]

I installed a module and noticed that the "Installed Date" in Module Information showed "2 hours from now".  I also noticed that after I modified a page, the "Last Modified Date" showed the date and time, plus in parenthesis "2 hours from now".

I am in Eastern (New York) time, the server is in Central (Dallas) time, and the physical location of the entity for whom I built the site in in Pacific (Los Angeles) time.  When I installed the site, I changed the timezone to Los Angeles (if I recall correctly, it defaulted to Dallas), so now in my config file I have:

$config->timezone = 'America/Los_Angeles';

My question is twofold:
1. Should $config->timezone correspond to the servers timezone, or my (or the client's) timezone?
2. Is there any problem if it's set incorrectly?

Thanks!!

If you have SSH access to the server, run

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

and pick the correct timezone (no root access is needed)
