[mythtv-users] Can't access mythweb after upgrade

I was having the same problem initially. 
I'm too much of a noob to be sure this will fix your issue, but I solved 
my problem by doing the following:

1.  I edited my mythweb.conf.apache file to point to the installation 
directory <Directory "/var/www/html/mythweb" >
2.  I moved and renamed the mythweb.conf.apache file to the 
/etc/httpd/conf.d directory --> mv mythweb.conf.apache 
/etc/httpd/conf.d/mythweb.conf
3.  Lastly, I changed my permissions for the mythweb/data directory to 
allow full access --> chmod a+rw /var/www/html/mythweb/data  (I imagine 
some of the more cautious people would cringe at providing full access 
like this, but in my situation it just doesn't matter).

I appear to be all set now.  I don't know if the last step was really 
necessary (the permissions may have been OK to begin with), but I didn't 
want to spend too much time fiddling with things, so I used a little bit 
of a shotgun approach.

Hope this helps.
