apache wont restart after enabling mod_security.

For some reason when you install mod_security the config file for it has an extra line:

LoadFile /usr/lib64/

Which errors out Apache when loading:

httpd: Syntax error on line 512 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 2 of /usr/local/apache/conf.d/mod_security.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib64/ into server: /usr/lib64/: cannot read file data: Is a directory


Removing that line makes it load fine.  Not sure if another file was supposed to be loaded by that line.   

Currently testing CWP on Alma Linux 9.4


Thanks!

EL9 support is still in beta with CWP. Test for that error when it is fully production ready for AlmaLinux 9

There seems to be a install problem.

Code: [Select]

nano /usr/local/apache/conf.d/mod_security.conf
Line 2 – Add – liblua-5.4.so to the end.

Code: [Select]

systemctl start httpd

I am having this same issue after installing cwp on Alma-9.

Can anyone share how they might have solved it?

What is the error message Apache is giving?

From what I've seen, the above fixes it.

Its resolved now

how to solve this problem. plss help.;

Its resolved now
edit mod_security.conf
nano /usr/local/apache/conf.d/mod_security.conf


LoadFile /usr/lib64/libxml2.so
LoadFile /usr/lib64/         <<<----------------remove this line.

<IfModule !unique_id_module>
LoadModule unique_id_module modules/mod_unique_id.so
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_security2.c>
LoadModule security2_module  modules/mod_security2.so
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_security2.c>
    <IfModule mod_ruid2.c>
        SecAuditLogStorageDir /usr/local/apache/logs/modsec_audit
        SecAuditLogType Concurrent
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule itk.c>
        SecAuditLogStorageDir /usr/local/apache/logs/modsec_audit
        SecAuditLogType Concurrent
    </IfModule>

Actually the fix is to add - liblua-5.4.so
to the end of that line for AlmaLinux.

After it should read:

Code: [Select]

LoadFile /usr/lib64/liblua-5.4.so
This fix was mentioned above, and has been tested and works on all of our new servers.
