[mythtv-users] mythweb not asking for passwords

[Scott Macdonell]

I followed the instructions for securing mythweb from http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythWeb#Apache_Configuration to the T. I just reinstalled this backend about 2 weeks ago, and I thought I'd had mythweb password protected. I could have been wrong, but I also first noticed my problem suspiciously soon after an update. At first I just noticed it was only asking for a password when I tried to use mythweb on my backend machine. It would NOT require a password to log from any other remote location. I've done a bunch of messing with the Directory settings under httpd.conf, and nothing seems to have made any difference. Now I am even further from where I started as it doesn't even ask for a password when I log on from localhost. Anyway the stuff I added to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf is below. I included some of the stuff that was already there so that somebody could tell me if I had put it in the wrong place.


<Directory "/var/www/html">

#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
#   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
#   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limitasking
#
    AllowOverride All

#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

</Directory>

<Directory "/var/www/html/mythweb">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "MythTV"
    AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/httpd-passwords
    Require user scott
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Also, when I restart apache i get

[root at mythback scott]# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                            [  OK  ]
Starting httpd: httpd: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for mythback
httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
                                                           [  OK  ]


I'm not sure if those are problems or not. Also, Nothing really jumps out at me in /var/log/httpd/error_log It all just looks like:

[Thu Aug 20 00:41:16 2009] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down

Thanks for any help you can give.
