Time.now from server instead of client computers

If I am not mistaken, the Time.now function in Ruby is taken from the client's computer. How can we ensure that it's taken from the server, so that it remains the same time as the 开发者_StackOverflow社区server even if the client's date/month/year is wrong?

Thank you.

Time.now is executed on the server.

If you'd like to set the timezone, add the following in config/application.rb

config.time_zone = 'Central Time (US & Canada)'

To see all the timezones available, run the following command in your terminal

rake time:zones:all

In older versions of rails (rails <= 3.x), you can use

rake -D time

Time.now is always evaluated on the server running the code. In the case of a Ruby on Rails application, this would be the web server.

Time.now only reports the time of the machine running the script. On its own the interpreter can't run code on a user's machine.
