Re: ap mod_secure

thanks… i did do ap-modsecure2. the message i posted was from that attempt to build it from pkgsrc/security/ap-modsecure2

the issues was that it didn't want to build with the currently installed pkgs. so i had to upgrade everything - including apache itself - to actually use this single module. i could have probably build it myself from source but i know mod_security needs quite a few things to compile. so ended up updating the whole pkgsrc and went from their. it hurt a little bit…

The "ap-modsecure" package doesn't support Apache 2.4.x because
"mod_secure" version 1.x doesn't compile with that version of Apache.
As a result it automatically pulls in apache-2.2.27 as a dependence
because apache-2.4.3nb1 cannot be used. But you cannot install those
two apache packages at the same time.

You have to use (or build) the "ap-modsecure2" package which supports
both Apache 2.2.x and 2.4.x.

Kind regards

P.S. The mailing list "pkgsrc-users%NetBSD.org@localhost" might be more
appropriate for this discussion.
