 Posted: Sun 09 Jun '13 20:56 Post subject: Mod_Security Issues - Specified Procedure Not Found |
 |
|
Hi Guys,
I tried installing mod_security for 32-bit apache 2.4.x from this site on my Windows 7 x64 server running Apache 32-bit 2.4.3, but I receive this error message after adding the correct entries to the httpd.conf when I try to restart apache:
| Code: |
httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 189 of C:/zpanel/bin/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load modules/mod_security2.so into server: The specified procedure could not be found.
|
My configuration looks like this:
| Code: |
# Security
LoadModule security2_module modules/mod_security2.so
LoadModule unique_id_module modules/mod_unique_id.so
<ifmodule mod_security2.c>
Include mod_security_rules/*.conf
</ifmodule>
|
mod_security2.so is in the modules folder. Any idea as to why I'm receiving this error? |

Anything in the Windows event log ?
Re-check if you downloaded mod_security for 2.4 Win32 and follow the instructions in the Readme.txt. And be sure you have installed the Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package x86.

Also having the same issue. Trying to configure 64bit ModSecurity on a 64bit WAMP installation and receiving the error:
| Code: | C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.2\bin>httpd.exe
httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 150 of C:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.4.2/conf/httpd
.conf: Cannot load C:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.4.2/modules/mod_security2.so into
server: The specified procedure could not be found. |
httpd.conf
| Code: | LoadModule unique_id_module modules/mod_unique_id.so
LoadModule security2_module modules/mod_security2.so |
The "mod_security2.so" module is located in the /modules folder.
Windows Event logs show the same Apache error as above.
I've also posted this in the WAMP forum to rule out it being something to do with WAMP: http://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,115347
WAMP 64-bit
Windows Server 2008 R2
Apache 2.4.2
Mysql 5.5.24
PHP 5.4.3
ModSecurity 2.7.4 64bit (http://www.apachelounge.com/download/win64/modules-2.4/mod_security-2.7.4-win64.zip)
Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package x64 |

A note from Ivan in his mod_security handbook:
Although it might be possible to run Steffen’s ModSecurity binaries with a version
of Apache produced elsewhere, you should really use only the packages from a single
location that are intended to be used together. If you don’t, you may encounter unusual
behavior and web server crashes.
Please try it with 2.4.4 Win64 from here. |

Mostly you get this error when there is a version mismatch of Apache and/or one of the modules, corrupted file or it is build wrong.
Do not know the WAMP dependencies versions and the way they build the apache and the dependencies.
The culprit can be libxml2.dll and/or pcre corrupted or wrong build
You can try to copy one by one from the 2.4.4 zip here and see how it goes.

Thank you both.
First I'll try replacing the libxml2 and pcre .dll's from the 2.4.4 package.
As a last resort, I'll try to upgrade Apache within WAMP but am waiting as it seems more complex. |

Steffen, I'd hug you if I could.
Replacing the two .dll's fixed the issue and Apache starts without a problem. I'm hoping the .dll swap doesn't cause issues later on in the ModSecurity install but it's working at the moment. |

| The replace is not a problem at all. |

So, I should just update those 2 dll files from the latest version of Apache? Does that mean I can still run Apache 2.4.3 but use those two files from the latest?
To upgrade to the latest version of Apache on Windows, I just copy the files from the latest version but keep everything in my httpd.conf? |

I used the two .dll's from Apache 2.4.4 and copied them into my Apache 2.4.2 install and it worked fine.
I'm not sure about your question regarding upgrading the actual Apache version vs. only the two .dll's. |

| I just wanted to confirm that replacing libxml2.dll and pcre.dll from the Apache 2.4.4 package also worked for me. |
