apache wont restart after enabling mod_security.
« on: June 25, 2024, 08:51:16 PM »
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.

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.

All new servers we've activated have AL9 (AlmaLinux 9).

It installs a little different, but seems to be working well.
If you need PHP below 7.4, then you'll still have to install CWP on AL8 (AlmaLinux 8 )

Hi,

you last recommended me this installation:

https://forum.centos-webpanel.com/apache/issues-with-brand-new-fresh-install-with-almalinux-9-4/msg49150/#msg49150

but at the end it says that you are using an internal installation guide:

"We are always tweaking the AL9 install process, that's just a small fraction of the current AL9 internal guide we use that is 12 pages long. :/"

....is it possible to have a look at it….

Thanks in advance!

The only things not mentioned in the link where like setting the time zone, DNS servers, setting hostname, adding SWAP (if needed), Kernel upgrade, upgrading MariaDB, security tweaks, and install monitoring and reporting tools.

Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to stuff like that.


Here are some links for updates that we would recommend after a new installation:

https://www.alphagnu.com/topic/508-solution-for-returning-attackers-when-restarting-csf/


CWP has a support wiki on how to upgrade MariaDB also.
The current 2 LTS are 10.11 and 11.4.
