For Apache and IIS, the Piwik installer will create .htaccess and web.config files, respectively, to provide an additional layer of security, e.g., blocking direct access to .php files.

Given the recommendation in http://piwik.org/faq/new-to-piwik/#faq_137 we should provide some hardening recommendations.

Nginx is covered by the github contrib: https://github.com/perusio/piwik-nginx#readme

I don't think we can do anything without installing in SSH, so not much we can do on our side.

Nginx & Piwik

As for lighttpd I'm not sure, but not many users use it. Maybe we can focus on Apache/IIS/Nginx.

I'm thinking the Installer would detect nginx/lighttpd, and provide a popup (or collapsed div) to provide environment-specific recommendations.

There is now an official nginx config: https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo-nginx
Detecting nginx during setup is suggested here: #13589

In case someone wants to maintain an official lighttpd config a similar repo could be created.
