installing mod_security

[TheCableGuy96]

Hi All,

I've spent around the last 5 hours looking around for guides to install mod_security but for one reason or another it never works out.

Does anyone have an up-to-date guide for installing mod_security on a server with the following:

Centos5 i386
suPHP
Custombuild

Thanks in advance.

i spend weeks finding out what happend on my machine, because i could get it installed also... do you have problems with installing?

Do you perhaps also have this problem:

You could install mod_security with a special script:

Hello,

No that's not my problem. The problem seems to be that there's no definitive way and all the ways I've tried do not seem to load it.

I've seen that script but don't want to use it because there's no clear instructions how to use it and it appears I would be also installing lots of other things I don't use or need.

Update -

Didn't realise you can use the script to just install/update packages individually, so used it to install mod_security and mod_security rules for apache2.

Also added the additional code to: httpd-includes.conf and restarted apache.

However even though it reports no errors it's not listed under:
httpd -l
php -m
or in phpinfo.php

back to square 1!

Hi bo0obo0o,

I already tried adding that to /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-includes.conf

I also changed:
LoadFile /usr/lib/libxml2.so
to
LoadFile /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2

As it appears you have done.

But this still didn't load it.

It actually caused a problem as my ticket support system gave me an error after I loaded libxml2.so.2

The error was:
[Warning]: simplexmp_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: Entity: line 12: parse error: Extra content at the end of the document (LoginShare/class.SWIFT_LoginShareUser.php:113

I put everythign back after that as it appeared I was doing more damage than good.
