Re: Installing modsecurity on Red Hat 5.3 x64

<<<(after subscribing to the channels list above and running yum update)
# yum install libxml2-devel lua-devel httpd-devel curl-devel pcre-devel
# ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs
# make
# make install>>>

After implementing what you suggested above I was able to compile.  My RHEL subscription allowed me to get
the rpms I needed.  I had to use "./configure" because "./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs" gave
the error listed below.  Other than that it was fine and thanks for the help!

Re: Installing modsecurity on Red Hat 5.3 x64


I have just upgraded 2.5.7 to 2.5.9 with no problems whatsoever via yum
update mod_security. I am using atomic RMPs. Initially, I had installed it
from fresh from the same depo; it resolved all the dependencies - no need
for the manual installation. I am on Centos 5.2 x64.
