Mod_Security console installing on XP

Hello,

hopefully someone can help me

I have downloaded mod_security console from the breach website and have
installed it on my windows xp sp2 system

but the service will not start

It displays the message "Error 1 incorrect function"

does anyone know what this might mean and how to go about fixing it

I'm not to clear about where the cosole should be installed, are you supposed
to install it on the web server that mod_security is running on or can you use
any device and then point the console at that system

any help gratefully received

Tim

Re: Mod_Security console installing on XP

Hi!

I have not tested mod_security console on a windows box so I'm just able
to give some general information and tips.

First have a look at Ryan Barnett's blog post:
http://www.modsecurity.org/blog/archives/2007/03/modsecurity_con_1.html
Please read it completely. STEP 6 shows you how to configure the logging
in mod_security config to use a perl script to log to the console host
(this may be a _remote_ host). Have a look at this script. You don't
have to install the console on the same box as apache+mod_security is
installed.

There was a long discussion about the console on windows this year
titled: "Perl script issues - running ModSecurity Console on a Windows
box." Maybe you find an answer in there to resolve your error message.

Best regards,
SR
