[mythtv-users] Mythweb AuthType Basic works for me, Digest doesn't

I've just upgraded to 0.19 and have followed the instructions in the
MythWeb README. It's working except for the fact that I can only get
Basic authentication working, not Digest.

Here's the section in my /var/www/html/mythweb/.htaccess:
AuthType           Digest
AuthName           "MythTV"
AuthDigestFile     /var/www/myth_htdigest
Require            valid-user

I ran htdigest like this:
htdigest -c myth_htdigest Myth mythtv

When I try to log into Mythweb I the authorisation check fails and I
see this in /var/log/httpd/error_log:
[Mon Mar 20 19:52:32 2006] [error] [client 192.168.0.200] Digest: user
`mythtv' in realm `MythTV' not found: /mythweb/

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I can continue with Basic
authentication but one of the recent posts said this isn't as secure,
and the default in the .htaccess file that comes with MythWeb is
Digest so I figure I need to get with the program.

Thanks,
Phill
