Continuous Integration environment with svn on linux

On my previous post I wrote a way I used to create a CI environment that'd export the entire application to a web location after each commit. I was working then for windows. Now, I have created a setup for Linux - with addition this time the post-commit will only update those files that are actually committed. Following is the post-commit script I got on Stackoverflow:

php redirect losing sessions on Chrome/IE issue resolved

My new CodeIgniter app was working beautifully locally - everything's just fine. But when I uploaded to the demo location online - I found I can't login !! After debugging it is discovered - after checking the user credentials and setting the sessions when I was redirecting to the dashboard the user- session was getting lost !

Started with googling for a while and following is the link I got people were suggesting couple of fixes :

Unfortunately, this din solve my issue. I was still getting lost sessions. And finally, [I don remember where I saw someone was suggesting to check the server time] I checked my server time and yes, it was certainly not right - around 5 hours late from the time as it was supposed to be. Fixed the time with the following command [as it was a linux box] :

date +%T -s "10:13:13"

Then, tried login again and bingo - it is working cool.
