’m stuck getting dashboard set up under apache in 4.5.0. Following the instructions with NoAuthentication doesn’t work, as auth.py resolves all users to apache, rather than their username. I added the following patch below to auth.py to pull the username out of the URL. This works and returns the right workflow.db path, but then the next step in the app gives me a 404 not found:

<http://sugar-dev1.phy.syr.edu/pegasus/~dbrown>

Am I missing something obvious?

Cheers,
Duncan.
