That will not do anything as it only modified process environment
variables for CGI script processes execed from Apache.
If you are seeing the wrong timzone from what you are setting, it is
most likely because you are running multiple applications in same
Apache instance and each is wanting to use a different timezone. These
could be multiple Django instances, or even PHP applications.
Short answer is you can't run multiple applications in same Apache
which have different timezone requirements.
