Hi,
Up until now I was using Apache 2.4.6 x64 binaries and modules (including mod_security) downloaded from this site.
Today I downloaded Apache 2.4.6 source package from ASF and built x64 versions of libapr, libiconv, libaprutil, libhttpd and httpd with Visual Studio 2012 running on Windows 7:
- I did not make any changes to the source files.
- I did not build any of the modules: I'm still using the ones I downloaded from this site.
- I did not make any changes to my httpd.conf file.
Everything's working fine except that mod_security2.so isn't loading anymore, despite it being present in the modules directory (error message: "Cannot load modules/mod_security2.so into server").
All other modules are loading and working fine.
Does anybody know what could be wrong?
Do I have to build mod_security too? |

| mod_security requires the libxml2 dll to be in Apache's bin folder. That's the usual reason it will not load. |

Does your build has libxml2.dll in the /bin folder ?

pcre3.dll was the guilty.
For some unknown reason my build was relying on pcre3.dll.
I reverted back to pcre.dll (the one shipped with Stephen's Apache build)
And mod_security now loads fine  |
