-     <Directory /home/jukebox>
-     Require valid-user
-     AuthType basic
-     AuthName jukebox
-     AuthUserFile /home/jukebox/http.users
-     </Directory>

-   Adjust this according to wherever you're going to install disorder.cgi and

-   Don't forget to reload apache after modifying its configuration.  If you got

-3. Create the password file configured above.  Something like this:
-
-     # htpasswd -b -c /home/jukebox/http.users myusername mypassword
-     Adding password for user myusername
-     # htpasswd -b /home/jukebox/http.users othername otherpass
-     Adding password for user othername

-7. Give www-data (or whatever user it is) a password and edit
-   /etc/disorder/config.private accordingly.  This file should be mode 640 and

-
-     allow www-data MYPASSWORD
