title: How to check server timezone
body: <p>I want to know what is the time zone that is currently set in the MySQL server. I do not have administrator rights to the computer I am using so  I've tried the method by checking the registry.</p>
  
  <p>I am doing a table with a <code>timestamp</code> column and I noticed the time stamped is different than the one on my computer's time. Is there any reason for this? How do I check what timezone it is on the MySQL server? How do I change it to match my local/computer's time?</p>
