Securing MythWeb

Ok, in my last post I set up MythWeb. Now to lock it down so that it's not publicly accessible. I basically followed the directions at the KnoppMythWiki, with a couple of twists:

1. I'm running Apache2
2. I only locked down MythWeb and not my whole web space.
   

First I edited /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and added the following (I did it right before UseCanonicalName Off but I don't think it matters):

<Directory /var/www/mythweb>
       AuthType Basic
       AuthName "BasicAuth"
       AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/basicauth
       Require valid-user
</Directory>

Then I created /etc/apache2/basicauth with a mythtv user, setting the password in the process:

# htpasswd -c /etc/apache2/basicauth mythtv

Then I restarted apache and all was good:

# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
