Cant update timezone after restoring settings

Hi!
I had to restore my settings from backup yesterday and now I cannot set timezone right in Meteohub.
If I set my timezone right (Europe / Helsinki) in Settings page and press 'Save' it says
Code: Select all
symlink failed: File exists
Job scheduled for recalculation of weather data
Data Logging restarted
How can I fix this? Meteohub version 4.5i (build 46)

The system want to make a Link (symlink) for the used time-zone to the default name of the time-zone, but there is still a file or link.
At my linux-system, not meteohub, i've a file names "/etc/timezone"
This file contains the value "Europe/Berlin"

Yes, I have that file too, /etc/timezone which has "Europe/Helsinki".
Debian shows timezone & time correctly and actually Meteohub shows time correctly too. But timezone is missing, both on 'System Info' & 'Settings' page.
Should I remove /etc/timezone file and reset settings in Meteohub or what?

Intresting ;-)
On my Debian-System, this file has the following rights:
Code: Select all
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14 20. Okt 17:30 /etc/timezone
As i remenber, on the Meteohub system, they are the same.
Do you have the Timezone-Files in "/usr/share/zoneinfo".
You should have a filme named
Code: Select all
:~# ls -la /usr/share/zoneinfo/right/Europe/Helsinki
-rw-r--r-- 2 root root 2363 16. Okt 20:07 /usr/share/zoneinfo/right/Europe/Helsinki
:~# file /usr/share/zoneinfo/right/Europe/Helsinki
/usr/share/zoneinfo/right/Europe/Helsinki: timezone data
:~#

I'll think, that's something for Boris.
It's strange, anyway.
