   There is no session stored on disk across restarts. The session cookie you are keeping in your browser is a combination of username, time, and a hash based on the password and a secret value. If that shared secret is not persisted across restarts, it will be regenerated each time, and previously generated sessions will be invalid.
   
   Try creating a new file called `etc/local.d/secret.ini` and place within it these contents:
   
   ```
   [couch_httpd_auth]
   secret = monster
   ```
   
   where you replace the word `monster` with a unique hash that you don't reveal to anyone. This should prevent your session invalidation problem.
