Thank you for the problem report. Verified on Mac OS X also: mysql> SET time_zone = '+14:00'; ERROR 1298 (HY000): Unknown or incorrect time zone: '+14:00' mysql> SET time_zone = '+13:00'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

Same thing happening on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Is there anyone who sorted this out on Ubuntu or any other Linux distro?

No update on this? It's still a problem for me on 5.6.29 SELECT DATE(CONVERT_TZ(NOW(),'+00:00', '+14:00')); returns null
Description: MySQL does not accept the timezone offset UTC+14:00 as a valid value for the time_zone server setting. This is the UTC offset of the Pacific/Kiritimati time zone. The maximum accepted offset currently appears to be +13:00. I am aware that MySQL can be told about timezone identifiers, but this requires them to be explicitly installed and the user may not have administrative access to the running instance (e.g. on a shared host). Or, in my case, they may be feeding PHP's date('P') output into a "SET time_zone = 'xxx';" query and encountering an unexpected failure. How to repeat: SET time_zone = '+14:00'; > Error #1298 - Unknown or incorrect time zone: '+14:00' Suggested fix: Make MySQL aware of the existence of +14:00 UTC time zones.
