When prompted for what module you want to enable enter:
auth_digest
Create your password directory
sudo mkdir /etc/mythtv/mythweb-digest/passwd
Create your password FILE
sudo htdigest -c /etc/mythtv/mythweb-digest/passwd/passwords MythTV greg
Grant permissions to the new password file:
sudo chown www-data /etc/mythtv/mythweb-digest/passwd/passwords
sudo chgrp www-data /etc/mythtv/mythweb-digest/passwd/passwords
sudo chmod 640 /etc/mythtv/mythweb-digest/passwd/passwords
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
<Directory "/var/www/mythweb">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AuthType Digest
AuthName "MythTV"
AuthUserFile /etc/mythtv/mythweb-digest/passwd/passwords
Require valid-user
Order allow,deny
Allow from 192.168.1.
Satisfy any
</Directory>
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
You may have to change a few paths,but this is what I use..This allows
me to access over my lan without authoriziation, but is secure from the
net....
This was based on this how-to...
