mod_security install

[mikef1]

Trying to get ModSecurity 2.1.2 installed with Apache 2.0.59. It keeps on blowing up on me.

Edited Makefile
top_dir=/etc/httpd
INCLUDES = -I /usr/local/include/libxml2

did make, it complained about not finding special.mk
did a locate special.mk
changed top_builddir = /var/www

make then complained about not finding http_core.h
changed top_srcdir = /usr/include/apache
still couldn't find http_core.h so I guess my paths aren't right.

I am using these instructions http://www.modsecurity.org/documentation/modsecurity-apache/2.1.2/html-multipage/02-installation.html

Recompiled Apache with --with-pcre as mentioned in the Note, didn't help me any.

Is libxml2 installed? If so, where is it? If not, you should probably install it and find out what path its using.

Do you install ModSecurity in CentOS ???

Edited Makefile
top_dir=/var/www/
INCLUDES = -I /usr/local/include/libxml2

It's a problem in the custombuild script. It misses step #2. :(

In order to get it installed.

Recompile Apache with --with-pcre=/usr
ln -s /var/www/build /etc/httpd/build after build.
top_dir=/etc/httpd
INCLUDES = -I /usr/local/include/libxml2
(though if you install your OS version of libxml2 you can use /usr/include/libxml2
(Install libxml2 and libxml2-devel on CentOS))
make
make install


Follow the instructions from http://www.modsecurity.org/documentation/modsecurity-apache/2.1.4/html-multipage/02-installation.html

(ie: Editing your httpd.conf file, and loading some rules.)

mattb, step #1 and #2 will be included into the CustomBuild script soon.

Thanks smtalk. :D

That will make life easier for a lot of ppl compiling additional Apache modules.

You're more than welcome. It's already added :)
