Ensure all built-in Lighttpd modules are initialized and available

[hanwong]

I got this error and server was crashed, when i modifed extraConfig like below from example codes.

extraConfig: server.modules += ("mod_expire") expire.url = ("/" => "access plus 1 seconds"),

Well, I guess, mod_expire should be included into the build here —

react-native-static-server/CMakeLists.txt

Lines 122 to 130 in 6da88a8

	set(PLUGIN_STATIC
	PLUGIN_INIT(mod_alias)\n
	PLUGIN_INIT(mod_dirlisting)\n
	PLUGIN_INIT(mod_h2)\n
	PLUGIN_INIT(mod_indexfile)\n
	PLUGIN_INIT(mod_rewrite)\n
	PLUGIN_INIT(mod_setenv)\n
	PLUGIN_INIT(mod_staticfile)\n
	)

, without it it is not initialized.

Also you may look into errorLog option, to get your hand on the underlying server logs with the exact reason of the crash.

There is a list of modules that upstream lighttpd builds into the lighttpd server by default since they are small enough that building as separate shared objects takes up more space.

For this ticket, please consider adding at least mod_expire, mod_redirect, and mod_access, and perhaps even mod_fastcgi and mod_scgi. None have external dependencies besides suggesting PCRE2 for mod_redirect, which is also a recommended dependency of mod_rewrite and mod_dirlisting, which you already include.
