Comment 10 Laine Stump 2018-10-14 19:13:03 UTC 
I have a pi-hole virtual machine based on Fedora 28. When yum update grabbed lighttpd-1.4.50, the pi-hole admin interface stopped working. Here is the relevant error from journalctl:

lighttpd[1205]:  2018-10-13 20:20:59: (configfile.c.1451) pclose "cat external.conf 2>/dev/null"failed: Success
lighttpd[1205]: 2018-10-13 20:20:59: (configfile.c.1289) source: /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf line: 94 pos: 1 parser failed somehow near here: (EOL)
systemd[1]: lighttpd.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=255/n/a
systemd[1]: lighttpd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

(lighttpd.conf is a file installed by pi-hole, *not* the stock conf file that is installed with lighttpd). When I downgrade to lighttpd-1.4.49, the problem disappears, so it may be a problem with pi-hole, but if so it's still a change in lighttpd that is causing the problem to show itself.

I just filed a separate BZ for this problem, but thought I should mention it here too: Bug 1639043
Comment 11 Glenn S 2018-10-17 11:04:23 UTC 
It is an improvement in lighttpd 1.4.50.  If an include_shell command fails, lighttpd config parsing stops.

Your reported issue is in Pi-hole lighttpd sample configs.  A pull request was submitted upstream to Pi-hole: https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/pull/2468
