Getting 404 Error After Installing WebWork

Hi,

I installed WebWork with a MYSQL server that is not on localhost. I used the docker container and set my environment variables for my specific setup. In this case, I was able to get to the main page, however upon clicking on course administration, I am sent to a 404 not found page. I don't really know how to start to troubleshoot this issue, and as such don't really know what information to provide in this case, here are 2 images of the pages:

Please let me know any information you need from me and I appreciate the help.

The 404 error is occurring on the page https://ww.maevebaksa.com/Shibboleth.sso/Login, which is not a page generated by WeBWorK.

It looks like you have enabled Shibboleth authentication on your WeBWorK instance, but it is pointed to a nonexistent Shibboleth service. If you disable shibboleth authentication in WeBWorK you should be able to access course administration with local usernames and passwords. If you want to use Shibboleth you will have to configure it for this server. I have no experience with Shibboleth, so if you need help with that we will have to hope that someone else knows their way around Shibboleth in WeBWorK.

This was corrected as I realized I was using someone's docker image that wasn't a stock build of webwork, but instead that of a prexisting university. I have since switched to a VM which works pretty well, although is not working properly behind a proxy manager. I don't know why, and I have since started a new thread for that issue.
