AuthDigest Login And Password Dialog has stopped Appearing

For the last month AuthDigest was working fine. However now, after
making some bone-headed mistakes to my /var/www directory, it now
longers requests user:login info. The server immediately goes to the
screen stating the 401 error. when a link is clicked
---------------------------
Authorization Required
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the
document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g.,
bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the
credentials required.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to
use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I've fixed the problem. I had to set the appropriate permissions on
the necessary directories.
