After investigations, commit the proposed patch by kklimonda presented with the following introduction : cm/templates/site/login_form.html template uses a relative url for the form action, which seems to break deployment in the subfolder when trailing slash is missing (the form redirects to the upper folder breaking login). Using {% url login %} (as in the attached patch) instead would fix the issue.

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),    
    
    (r'', include('cm.urls')),
)

try :
    import urls_local
except ImportError :
    pass
