### Lighttpd
The following is an example configuration for lighttpd:
````php
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/config" {
url.access-deny = ( "" )
}
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/system/includes" {
url.access-deny = ( "" )
}
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/system/admin/views" {
url.access-deny = ( "" )
}
url.rewrite-once = (
"^/(themes|system|vendor)/(.*)" => "$0",
"^/(.*\.php)" => "$0",
# Everything else is handles by htmly
"^/(.*)$" => "/index.php/$1"
)
````
### Nginx
The following is a basic configuration for Nginx:
````nginx
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log error;
index index.php;
location ~ /config/ {
deny all;
}
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
````
Making a secure password
----------------------
Passwords can be stored in `username.ini` (where "username" is the user's username) in either plaintext, encryption algorithms supported by php `hash` or bcrypt (recommended). To generate a bcrypt encrypted password:
````
$ php -a
> echo password_hash('desiredpassword', PASSWORD_BCRYPT);
````
This will produce a hash which is to be placed in the `password` field in `username.ini`. Ensure that the `encryption` field is set to `password_hash`.
