Timezone is set to UTC after install?

[Ralph Crongeyer]

Hi all,
I'm trying to have the timezone set to EST after the install is complete 
but it is always set to UTC.

I have changed the config/class/FAIBASE.var file and set the time_zone 
values like this:

# Set UTC=yes if your system clock is set to UTC (GMT), and UTC=no if not.
UTC=no
time_zone=America/EST

But it still sets the timezone to UTC?

How can I fix this?

Thanks

Ralph
