I have trying to install and configure mod_security on Apache but anytime I uncomment
#LoadModule security2_module modules/mod_security2/mod_security2.so

I get this error message

httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 117 of C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/modules/mod_security2/mod_security2.so into server: The specified module could not be found

I installed the Apache2.2 is working fine
What I want is if I can get step by step instructions on how I can install and configure mod_security 2 on Apache. I have been struggling for the past three weeks. Any help will be highly appreciated

Thank you

Wisdom

You downloaded mod_security from apachelounge? Did you follow the readme.txt ? Did you enable unique_id ?

Seeing this
C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/
makes me believe that this is a package from the Apache Foundation.

I do not think the Apache Lounge binary works on Apache from ASF, only Apache Lounge packages.

I may be wrong, Steffen, James?

I just download apache from ASF and installed it. No Problems loads fine.

Maybe selecta did not install Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package or did not copy libxml2.dll to apache\bin

Hi all,

and sorry for rising this again Smile

I just downloaded both bins from apache lounge and ran into the same problem.

The apache is already running as a reverse proxy and I tried to integrate the security mod now.
But it failed as described. I followed exactly the readme files. I can see the file in the folder but http -t keeps telling me "The specified module could not be found."

Any help will be highly appreciated

Thank you!

Roi

Recheck if you copied all the files, see readme.


Btw.

What version of Apache and mod-security are you running.

I have downloaded the following files:

11.04.2017 13:14 <DIR> httpd-2.4.25-win64-VC14
11.04.2017 13:14 15.189.553 httpd-2.4.25-win64-VC14.zip
11.04.2017 13:17 <DIR> mod_security-2.9.1-win64-VC14
11.04.2017 13:13 770.697 mod_security-2.9.1-win64-VC14.zip

The file locations:

"D:\Atlassian\Apache24\bin\yajl.dll"
"D:\Atlassian\Apache24\modules\mod_security2.so"

from the httpd.conf:

ServerRoot "D:/Atlassian/Apache24"
LoadModule unique_id_module modules/mod_unique_id.so
LoadModule security2_module modules/mod_security2.so

As I mentionent before the apache was allready runing as reverse proxy.
So its not a problem with the apache.

But httpd tells me:

D:\Atlassian\Apache24\bin>httpd.exe -t
httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 180 of D:/Atlassian/Apache24/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load modules/mod_security2.so into server: The specified module could not be found.

Thanks for your tries so far Smile
