That's odd.  My mythbox is currently running fc5, which is what all of
my defaults are based on.

That also requires *a* mythweb.conf file (covered in the README file for
.20) to grant the proper permissions to the .htaccess file.  That's why
I combined things into a single file.

The only thing you should have to do is change the directory name at the
top of the file to match your mythweb installation.  If you update your
checkout, you'll even get very specific directions in the file telling
you what to do, along with examples.

I've even commented out the "weird" compression stuff that wasn't in the
old .htaccess file, but that shouldn't matter at all since those modules
*are* enabled by default in fedora.

In fact, if you're using fedora, you should only need to (as root):

rm -rf /var/www/html/
svn co http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythplugins/mythweb /var/www/html
chown -R apache.apache /var/www/html
mv /var/www/html/mythweb.conf.apache /etc/httpd/conf.d/mythweb.conf
service httpd restart

Keep in mind that the first comment there blows away the entire
/var/www/html directory, since I assume that your mythbox is not running
any other web services.

Then you just point your browser to http://mythbox's-ip/  and you should
get mythweb.

If you want to install to /var/www/html/mythweb,

rm -rf /var/www/html/mythweb
svn co http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythplugins/mythweb \
       /var/www/html/mythweb
chown -R apache.apache /var/www/html/mythweb
mv /var/www/html/mythweb.conf.apache /etc/httpd/conf.d/mythweb.conf
nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/mythweb.conf # this is where you edit the file
service httpd restart

When you edit the file, you'll see:

    <Directory "/var/www/html" >

Change this to:

    <Directory "/var/www/html/mythweb" >

*All* of this should be covered between the conf, INSTALL and README
files, so please do tell me if I covered something here that I missed there.
