Description

2018-09-17 00:22:54: (configfile.c.1451) pclose "for f in vhosts.d/*.conf ; do [ -f "$f" ] && echo "include \"$f\"" ; done"failed: Success
2018-09-17 00:22:54: (configfile.c.1289) source: /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf line: 188 pos: 1 parser failed somehow near here: (EOL)

such code block started to yield "failed: Success" error and breaking config parsing and startup.

the fix is simple: add exit 0, however "failed: Success" typically means there's strerror(errno) call when errno == 0

first hunch is that lighttpd should wrap the command in sh -c before calling popen.

I am not a huge fan of inline shell scripting. include_shell should be used to run a script. Or, you could more simply include "vhosts.d/*.conf" and avoid directories ending ".conf" under vhost.d/

Here is a quick patch, which should work for your case, but does not cover the case where the include_shell cmd contains single-quote itself. I'll work on a more-inclusive patch this weekend.
