Do you have htdigest2 ? On gentoo this one worked the way the mythdocs said
it should work.

Check /var/www/htdigest to see if you have something like:

MythTV:2thLDwg.jd.j1gfds

where it is username then : then some cryptic string..

Is it possible to disable this htdigest authentication and access the
> web-page without authorization?


If you just want to disable this just comment out these four keys:
# AuthType           Digest
#   AuthName           "MythTV"
#   AuthUserFile       /var/www/htdigest
#   Require            valid-user
#   BrowserMatch       "MSIE"      AuthDigestEnableQueryStringHack=On

I do not recommend this if you are going to make this web page accessible to
the internet as if a webbot finds your page all your recordings will be
deleted when the bot follows the links on the page. Search for googlebot in
this mailing list.
