Here is an another thread about the same problem:

Comodo Ruleset Install problem

Hi, i've try to install CWAF but the installer give me: root@server:/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild# ./build modsecurity_rules ERROR: version of cwaf_rules not found in versions_cwaf.txt! Installing Comodo Rule Set for ModSecurity... Downloading cwaf_rules-0.tgz... --2021-04-17...

You should log a Request to DA. Its most likely a bug or passwd issue.

I'm not sure if this project is still alive.

There have been a ton of issues with the CWAF ruleset the past few months.

They have a forum - https://forums.comodo.com/free-modsecurity-rules-comodo-web-application-firewall-b223.0/ - but the lack of activity there lends credence to this project being dead.

Same here, seems like problem with versions and since DA does not obtain properly version number url for downloading ruleset is wrong and returns 404:

Hm, seems that rules are not free anymore.

 

[smtalk]

It seems they've removed https://waf.comodo.com/doc/comodo_versions.txt file there. We'd suggest reporting this to Comodo or switch to default ruleset (OWASP).

 

[SnakeMind]

They have it now after a login, but it is still free. The "checkout" amount is 0.
However, I have no clue where to insert the license key into the DirectAdmin options-file to have it work again :-X

 

[LawsHosting]

Custombuild cron started to act up with this............

Can't even log in.... "No active licence123"..... Erm, screw them, OWASP it is......

Hello,

We've faced unexpected issues during waf.comodo.com site migration. At the moment service has been restored.

Please check ruleset is accessible on your side.
