What's the easiest system for implementing this on one's own web server? Not using htaccess.

    If you build the pages with a CMS system the system should have an option to password-protect a page. Really simple systems like indexhibit lack this.

    Let me refine that. I want to get the behavior commonly seen on many sites where you set up a username/password during checkout, and after you pay, you get access to an account page with your available downloads and whatnot. 

    This is a pretty standard PHP+database project, which is why I assumed there's a standard set of scripts available.

    There are a few Open Source projects like http://www.zen-cart.com/ (or similar),
    or you can just use a hosted service like http://getdpd.com/ (or similar).
