Re: Can't get streaming to work w/Mythweb, help
[In reply to]

Okay, I tampered with my .htaccess changing AuthType from Digest to Basic,
but then I couldn't log into Mythweb any longer (kept prompting for login in
FF, although correct saved login/pass was already in the fields). What
exactly do you recommend? I used the htdigest command to generate a
httpd-passwords file and make a couple users (as per the README I linked to
in previous message). Should I delete this file and my
~/public_html/mythweb/.htaccess file and start over using htpasswd instead,
or ??
Thanks,
Bob
