Is your warning at the bottom (you don't know how secure it is) only about lighttpd or it's about apache2 configuration as well? Is your warning at the bottom (you don't know how secure it is) only about lighttpd or it's about apache2 configuration as well?
I'm asking this because right now I want to setup an httpd solely for the public use of ikiwiki on a general puprpose computer (there are other things there), and so I need to choose the more secure solution. --Ivan Z.

> AFAIU, my main simplest security measure should be running the public ikiwiki's cgi under a special user, but then: how do I push to the repo owned by that other user? I see, probably I should setup the public wiki under the special user (so that it was able to create the cgi-script with the desired permission), and then give my personal user the required permissions to make a git-push by, say, creating a special Unix group for this.
