*bangs head on desk*
Yeah you're right. Sorry for not reading that small section!
My main problem (along with the non-existent htdigest file) was that the
mod_auth_digest wasn't loaded, and I had lots of problems trying to load
it. Googling for it anywhere says use "digest_auth_module" to call the
mod_auth_digest module. The Apache docs confirms this here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_auth_digest.html
But the sticker is that I'm not using version 1.3 but rather version 2.0
of Apache, so I thought "Hmm, lets check out the 2.0 docs" (pretty
obvious you would have thought...) and found:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_auth_digest.html
and it says it's called with "auth_digest_module". 2 words's placements
has been changed over. Which is why all of the advice on Google I read
didn't work - it was for Apache 1.3. Wasn't clear!
Argh! Least it all works beautifully now!
Thanks very much for your help :) Much appreciated!
Cheers - Piers

Comparing the .htaccess files in the old mythweb and the new one, I
found the old .htaccess has an "AuthUserFile" while the new .htaccess
has an "AuthDigestFile" - I tried changing the new one to
"AuthUserFile" - it works, but throws a completely different error
message. I want to know if it's supposed to be AuthDigestFile or is
AuthUserFile correct?
It's whatever you want it to be. I changed the sample config to digest
because digest is slightly more secure than standard auth.. But you
need to use htdigest instead of htpasswd in order to create the files
(that's explained in the comment right above the config, which tells you
to read the man page for htdigest)
