ERROR MESSAGE:
GET request to piwik.php failed. Try whitelisting this URL from HTTP Authentication and disable mod_security (you may have to ask your webhost). For more information about the error, check your web server error log file. After making this change, restart your web server.
But I don’t have mod_security enabled. (I checked via sudo a2enmod mod-security)
I can’t make sense of it. I installed Piwik easily enough on a cheap shared host, but I’m getting this inexplicable error message on my DO server.
Any suggestions?

This question was answered by @protagonist:
Finally, I found what was wrong in my case. The error returned by piwik.php is simply due to the fact that it cannot open the file piwik/config/config.ini.php. It cannot open it because it does not exist. It creates the file on the next step of the installation. The error message has nothing to do with what’s going on.
