you know you need to use htdigest when creating a digest password

take a look at it.  digest authentication should be in the form of

user:realm:8493fbc53ba582fb4c044c456bdc40eb

from the look of things, mod_auth_digest can't find the realm in the
password file.

  the forthcoming (january) mod_perl Developer's Cookbook spends about
10 pages talking about digest authentication and how it is
implemented.
