That is the problem! So, your RPi has the wrong timezone set. It is using CST for some reason. PHP is using GMT+9 by default but because the RPi time is off its not able to make the proper calculations. Regardless, this needs to be fixed for my web app to work correctly.

First start with this in the terminal:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Follow the prompts and set the correct timezone. After this, re run those commands and tell me if they are lined up correctly with your local time, specifically the “date” command. If they are, check the web app against a new run.
