Hi, i've succesfully set up the WebUI in Ubuntu Server except for one thing - http-authentication! I am NOT using lighttpd (i think) or at least there is no /etc/lighttpd.
Before I installed Transmission, I had a apache2-webserver up and runnig - do I have to configure that?
HOW??!?!?!?!? Feel free to ask about further info

mha2908,
with transmission's web UI you are not actually using any http server anymore but the build-in server of transmission itself.
Therefore configuring any other http server that might be installed on your system naturally will have NO effect on transmission what-so-ever.
The extract from the wiki godsyn quoted show the entries in transmission's configuration file that you need to set to switch authentication on for transmission's build-in server. You can switch authentication on by starting the transmission daemon with the right parameters as well (-t -u <user> -v <password>).
