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...
