I have been fighting with this today myself.. I always have problems 
setting up Mythweb.. Here is how I got it working..I am using Ubuntu 
9.10 so I hope it apply s to Debian also...
This will allow anyone on your LAN to access Mythweb,but outsiders can't 
login unless they know your user name and password....

sudo a2enmod
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 
(your user name)

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
