Wrong Time.now output

There is such row in DB (from schema):

 t.datetime "password_link_sent_at"

And callback:

 self.password_link_sent_at = Time.now

But the output is wrong:

Started PUT "/email_password" for 127.0.0.1 at 2013-05-22 03:22:42 +0400
Processing by SignsController#email_password as HTML
  Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "authenticity_token"=>"10qxpSGYRAKs/SqbWyG2IstRxpIe4VoOT96hNANq9Tk=", "email_reset"=>"[email protected]", "commit"=>"Reset Password"}
  User Load (6.0ms)  SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."email" = '[email protected]' LIMIT 1
  User Exists (1.0ms)  SELECT 1 AS one FROM "users" WHERE "users"."password_reset_token" = '2kE2dtwlnsMrnCGTIGuCvQ' LIMIT 1
   (1.0ms)  BEGIN
   (1.0ms)  UPDATE "users" SET "password_reset_token" = '2kE2dtwlnsMrnCGTIGuCvQ', "password_link_sent_at" = '2013-05-21 23:22:43.167461', "updated_at" = '2013-05-21 23:22:43.175461' WHERE "users"."id" = 1
   (5.0ms)  COMMIT
  Rendered user_mailer/password_reset.text.erb (1.0ms)

Pay attention to request time, and to as password_link_sent_at itself, as to it's update time. Which are earlier on 4 hours.

I'm not sure about this one, but changing your's application timezone setting might help:

In config/application.rb

config.time_zone = 'Prague'

self.password_link_sent_at = Time.zone.now

have a look here for info http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/TimeZone.html

You're storing times in your database in UTC presumably, and this is a good thing.

The log is set to local time.

Usually times are stored as UTC and converted for display purposes. This makes your database time-zone neutral.
