This is normal?

yes

Thank you very much for your help! 

Hi, I request you and everyone out here to plesae post the path of configuration file name whenever you suggest anything to be added to a configuration file. It is good that you helped the guy who asked the question, but a detailed answer will help others too. I tried editing the Main Configuraiton file of mod security and got Apache crashed twice. I had to re update mod security to get the things working.

Is that the path please?

Edit /usr/local/apache/conf.d/mod_security.conf

Yes that is the correct file to add it. But only reloading apache is not enough because i had to restart apache to get it working

Thanks!
