Here is the code


In Httpd.conf

<VirtualHost _default_:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ScriptAlias cgi-bin /var/www/cgi-bin
ProxyPass /tivo/ http://192.168.XXX.XXX/ <http://192.168.XXX.XXX/> <Location
/tivo> AuthName "only for registered users"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "/etc/httpd/.passwd"
<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>
</Location>
</VirtualHost>



To make the password file, use the file htpasswd.exe file located in the
bin
directory under the main Apache directory. A sample of how this file would
be run is shown below:
htpasswd.exe -c .htpasswd <user name>

Now move the file .htpasswd into the main apache directory. Add the
following line in the httpd.conf file:
AuthUserFile c:/apache/.htpasswd

You will now need to edit the file tivoweb.cfg, which is located on your
Tivo in the directory that contains the tivoweb files. You will need to
edit
the tivoweb.cfg file so that tivoweb expects the "/tivo/" at the
end of the
url used by the reverse proxy server:
Prefix = tivo

To get to your Tivo, browse to the following URL:
http://account_name.dyndns.org/tivo
<http://account_name.dyndns.org/tivo>
