I have been able to set quite a few site settings in the `app.yml` using the following approach:

```
# "Basic Setup" section
- exec: rails r "SiteSetting.fixed_category_positions='true'"
- exec: rails r "SiteSetting.enable_whispers='true'"

# "Users" section
- exec: rails r "SiteSetting.username_change_period='999999'"
- exec: rails r "SiteSetting.full_name_required='true'"

```

But when I attempt to take this approach with the `show_logout_in_header` setting:

```
# "Other" section
- exec: rails r "SiteSetting.show_logout_in_header='true'"

```

The bootstrap process fails with this error:

Is this setting implemented in a different manner than the other settings? If so, do you have any advice as to how this setting can be configured via the `app.yml` file?

You should not need to run any of those more than once. You can remove all of them from your app.yml now.
