Your httpd.conf must "AllowOverride AuthConfig" for /var/www/mydir:
#Password-protected access to mydir.
<Directory "/var/www/mydir">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Directory>
The httpd docs at <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/> are useful for
this sort of thing. You might want to look at the tutorials.
