<P>MythWeb allows you to use a web page to control various aspects of your
MythTV system. MythWeb is a separate application, but it's dependent on
MythTV being installed and operational.</P>
<H2><A NAME="ss14.1">14.1</A> <A HREF="mythtv-HOWTO.html#toc14.1">Installation and prerequisites</A>
</H2>
<P>Mythweb is a part of the <B>mythplugins</B> package. See
<A HREF="mythtv-HOWTO-13.html#mythplugins_">MythPlugins</A> for instructions on downloading the
tarball. The next step depends on whether your distribution has a web server
and if you have PHP support.</P>
<H3>Mandriva</H3>
<P>Mandriva has <B>apache</B> and <B>PHP</B> pre-packaged, so
installation is quite simple. </P>

</P>
<P>By default, MythWeb uses an Apache <CODE>.htaccess</CODE> file to restrict
access to the website and to configure some variables.</P>
<P>To create the password file for Apache (if your system doesn't already have
one), you could do something like this:
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
# cd /var/www
# htpasswd -c htpasswd mythtv
New password:
Re-type new password:
Adding password for user mythtv
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
</P>
<P>See the man page for <B>htpasswd</B> for more examples.</P>
<P>To access the web page, open a web browser and use <B>http://[name or ip
address]/mythweb/</B></P>

<P>MythWeb allows you to configure which keys are bound to which actions
within MythTV. If you'd like to reset this back to the default, execute the
following command:

$ echo "delete from keybindings ;" | mysql -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg

web browser and go to site:
