I deploy my ExpressionEngine sites using Capistrano, which creates a new directory on the server for each “release” (using Git) and creates a symlink to the current one, which gets served.

The issue I am having is that after I deploy a new version, the “is system on” setting is getting reset to “yes”. My deploy doesn’t do anything to the database. I am baffled as to how this could change. Is it cached somewhere as a file?

Any ideas? Thanks!
Matt.

Hi Matt Fordham,

While version controlled deployments are a bit outside, a couple of things spring to mind.

That value isn’t cached, but it can be overridden in /system/expressionengine/config/config.php
Can look in your master branch files and check config.php for:

$config['is_system_on'] = 'y';

Does the deployment honor the setting if you change it? Are you using any of the available config bootstraps as part of your deployment?

Cheers!
