This has been a good thread for me. I am running this on Unbuntu Edgy and
had all the same issues Matthias is having. This includes the threads to
date. I ended up doing something more simple.
I still did this:

But in /etc/mythtv/mythweb-htaccess I changed it to:
AuthName "MythTV"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /var/www/htpasswd.users
Require valid-user
Then ran:
sudo htpasswd -c /var/www/htpasswd.users MythTV
- Choose a simple password when prompted.
Then:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Any everything seems in place. You might want to try that.
I will others indicate whether this is not as "secure" as using digests and
so on.
