Here is everything I just did to get MythWeb working, hope it works for you.
My system is Ubuntu Edgy, so your locations may differ slightly.


    For password and configuration setup read this document:
        less /usr/share/doc/mythweb/README.gz

    This was a good link for describing necessary changes for MythWeb.
        http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_0.20.php

        ls -la /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb
            drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 2006-10-28 00:42 data

        sudo chgrp -R www-data /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/data
        sudo chmod -R 775 /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/data
        sudo chmod -R +t /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/data
        ls -ld  /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/data
        - Special case for tv-icons, which must be writable
        sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/data/tv_icons

    Adding user/passwd to the website (this is a must)
        sudo vim /etc/apache2/conf.d/Directory-Access
            <Directory "/var/www/mythweb" >
                Options         FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride   All
            </Directory>

        sudo htpasswd -c /var/www/htpasswd.users MythTV
            - Choose a simple password when prompted.

    Modify the mythweb-htaccess.conf file 
        sudo vim /etc/mythtv/mythweb-htaccess.conf 

            Modify username and password from from /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt.
                setenv db_login "mythtv"
                setenv db_password "value from mysql.txt"

            Uncomment these lines at set them to something appropriate

    sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
