Hi Everyone,

I just installed mod_security 1.9.4.x centos 4.3 x64 rpm by building it from the source that is provided at gotroot.com

I am now getting this error with nodeworx:

Any ideas on what could have caused this? I can’t read the file as it has been encoded-

Thanks,

I’m confused, did you somehow install mod_security on the interworx httpd (which is seperate from the system httpd)? If not, is possible this problem existed before you installed mod_security?

Thanks for your prompt reply Paul-

This problem did not exist before installing mod_security. Also, before installing the rpm, I went thru Iworx-Chris’s steps for installing mod_security and followed them to the dot-

Files modified:

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf was renamed to httpd.conf.rpmnew by the installation and the new httpd.conf had the following new entry after comparing both files:

LoadModule security_module /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_security.so

Files not modified:

/home/interworx/etc/httpd/httpd.conf

I tried to disable mod_security by rem 'n it out and restarting apache and nodeworx but with no luck!

The error occurs as you try to access the login page of nodeworx-

I’m having a hard time figuring out how this is possible :). Probably best to open a support ticket at this point so we can check it out.
