Hello guys,

I'm new here and I don't know much. I want to install mod_security2 but it's not working. This is what I did:

1. Installed VS C++ 2008 Redist

2. Copied mod_security2.so and libxml2.dll to apache2\modules\mod_security2 folder

3. Added LoadModule security2_module modules/mod_security2/mod_security2.so to httpd.conf

4. Uncommented unique_id_module in httpd.conf

But apache is not starting now. Am I doing something wrong or is there anything I haven't done? Please help me.

What is on your error log? Something in the windows event log? Which OS do you run?

As written on the download page is works with Apache 2.2.x: It will NOT load into Apache 2.0.x releases.

Also in the zip: Works only with Apache 2.2.x

Ohh I'm sorry I didn't notice that.

Is there any version that works with apache 2.0.63?

OK, I upgraded to apache 2.2. No errors now.

How can I check if mod_security is working?

Other than what I said I did in the first post, is there anything else I have to do to configure it?

Good to hear.

First see the Readme.txt in the.zip under the heading "A very quick start".

To check see also the Readme.txt or www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=2520

For the rest read the included documentation.
