Hi Varun, Huh, it's odd that it's trying to use your home directory. To generate that string, Review Board figures out what "~" points to, and in your case, it's your own home directory. You said this was Apache before? Is it an out-of-the-box install? Which distro? Mod_Python or FastCGI?
We're looking at making this problem go away by making it easy to download and verify certificates as part of the repository setup process, but I don't have an ETA just yet on it.
