Looks like someone is doing a copy/paste. Are you sure your path is
/var/wwww/mythweb (Note four "w"s). The examples in the install doc are
broken on purpose to make sure you are thinking about where you are
doing. If you did use the correct "www" in the path did you remember to
rename mythtv.conf.apache to mythtv.conf when you moved it?
