Keep on getting logged out when deploying using Capistano
The problem is that the basepath changes each time you deploy (Capistrano uses versioned release directories). The basepath is used to generate a session key, which is invalidated each time a new deployment is made.

Setting it will help avoid the loss of data caches and user sessions when Craft is deployed using a deployment script that will store Craft in an inconsistent location, such as Capistrano.


So add this to general.php:

'appId' =&gt; 'chooseyourownrandomstring',
