| Post subject: | Recreating the htdigest file |
new to linux and sorry if this is to easy of a question but I read a couple other posts on recreating the passwords for the mythweb which refer to running htdigest to change the password and when I try to do the same I get access denied. Does mythtv need to be closed before I can run the htdigest? |

You have to log in as root. Or run the "su" command and type in the root password to access the htdigest file. |

Thanks, I was able able to recreate the file or at least it appeared I did. The main probelm I am having is logging into mythweb. I can connect just fine but when I type in my user name and password it's not taking it. I checked the error.log file and what it tells me is that - user 'mythuser' in relam 'MythTV' not found: /mythweb I have used firefox and explore but niether make a difference. any thoughts on what to try or check? |

You must have modified something since the install. The important files are: /etc/apache/httpd.conf /var/www/htdigest /var/www/mythweb/htaccess To me it sounds like your htdigest file still isn't correct. I just "deleated" mine and I got the same error as you. Try the following: Code: su
cd /var/www rm htdigest htdigest ./htdigest MythTV mythtv chmod +stx htdigest And tell us what happens when you try to log in after that. |

Okay, I got thru to the <rm htdigest> step but on the next line <htdigest ./htdigest MythTV mythtv> it returned with <Could not open passwd file /htdigest for reading> and also to use the -c to create a new one. When I did the <chmod> it returned that no such file existed. Trynig to use some logic I figured since I removed htdigest in the first step and it didn't create it in the next one that I would use the -c again. It didn't make a difference. I looked to make sure the main files you listed were actully in the directories and noticed that the htdigest file was in the / directory(I don't believe it's the root but the directory up from that, I know, amature!) and that file was not where it should be /var/www/ . Looks to me that its not creating the file where it should be. There is a hdiggest file in there. |

Hold the presses. I got it working. Turns out that I had the htaccess file incorrect. this is what I uncommented in the file- AuthType Digest AuthName "MythTV" AuthDigestFile /var/www/htdigest Require valid-user Connected the dots of what you were having me try and from another post in the forum. Thanks for the help! |

Ohh sorry I forgot to inculde the -c before the file name. With out it htdigest thinks you want to add on to another file. Which is not what I indended to have you do. Good that you got it working. |
