Description

proc_open(...) should unconditionally use /bin/sh as the shell to execute include_shell directives instead of relying in SHELL being set in the environment.

This is normally not a problem if lighttpd is started by the user, but SHELL may not be set for init and then lighttpd fails, if the configuration contains an include_shell line.

it's up to the user to decide what shell to use.

what version are u using? the newer version has fixed it already, in 1.4.11 at least, fallback to /bin/sh when SHELL isn't found. simply export SHELL=/bin/sh in your startup script, or upgrade to newer version.

we won't need shell when Jan write a shell alike argument parser.
