apache wont restart after enabling mod_security.

[Starburst]

That's not a valid config for ModSecurity.
One is generated automatically and installed when you install ModSecurity, so not sure how that happened.

If you are using the old Comodo the main configuration should look like (/usr/local/apache/conf.d/mod_security.conf)
