How to fix Nginx timezone? I've configured nginx to serve a directory but datetime of creation is one hour after my real time.

I've added to /etc/init.d/nginx

export TZ='Europe/Bratislava'

then

sudo service nginx reload
sudo service nginx restart

But it didn't help, there should be 14:19 instead of 13:19.

EDIT

Tried to change Ubuntu default timezone but the datetimes aren't changed. 

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

enter image description here

By default, nginx outputs the directory index in UTC time. If you want it to display the time in your local timezone, you should set the autoindex_localtime directive to on.

autoindex_localtime on
