Why is this happening ?
I've never noticed this before but when I build my pages I see this

Pages built on 31-Dec-1969 at 18:00:00

Clearly that is not right but I can't figure out where its getting the date from

Can anyone help ?

Mine also just recently started doing this. The date shows correctly on the built pages, but the admin is confused. At first I thought "so what" but then I noticed at every build it says "backup exists for today---skipping" so my backups are not current. Have not looked in to the problem yet, but I will...

That's the basic problem...

I searched for awhile, and looked over my codes, but I don't see the problem. here is what I have:

Pages build with correct date, and the date in the admin add field is correct. problem comes when building, the date reads as
Quote:
Pages built on 31-Dec-1969 at 19:00:00

and if the add form (add.cgi) is used, the date shows up as 31-Dec-1969. All backups have stopped, as they all have that date ('69).

My host is using Perl 5.005_3, and my date routines are all stock.

Any clues out there? I get no errors, and since the date shows correctly on built pages, I'm confused as to where the problem lies...
