Step Four:

Under the [Time] section of the configuration it should be showing this Section. ( default config )

[Time]
;Possible values: Local, Custom, Static
Type = Local
;If using Custom type, offset from UTC in hours (can be negative as well)
;Offset = 0
;If using Static type (Hour value always the same on every server start), the value (0-24) to set the Hour to
;Hour = 8
 
The configuration needs to be changed from the above to the following.
 
[Time]
;Possible values: Local, Custom, Static
Type = Local
;If using Custom type, offset from UTC in hours (can be negative as well)
Offset = -2
;If using Static type (Hour value always the same on every server start), the value (0-24) to set the Hour to
Hour = 8
 
This will set your server to GMT -2.
