Synchronizing system clock to Network Time Protocol (NTP) issue

Posted by Damodar Bashyal on June 04, 2015

 

When I was trying to connect to s3bucket from my local it failed and the reason I found was my system time was bit behind.

the NTP socket is in use, exiting

So I tried to fix time by running below command:

$ sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org

But I got this error message:

3 Jun 11:23:43 ntpdate[25890]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting

And tried again by adding -u and it worked:

$ sudo ntpdate -u pool.ntp.org

If that doesn't work, then it can be updated by stopping ntp:

$ sudo service ntp stop
[ ok ] Stopping NTP server: ntpd.

$ sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org
3 Jun 11:23:33 ntpdate[25862]: adjust time server 202.60.94.15 offset 105897.873344 sec

$ sudo service ntp start

It may ask your password again at that last step.
