[situ]

Dear,
The contact and I need to disable or uninstall mod_security which install using the tutorial. (use google translator)

Greetings.

Some more information please, which OS, which ispcp RC?

Try
a2dismod mod_security2
or
a2dismod mod_security


Maybe that will disable mod_security.

You have to restart apache after this change.



For removing mod_security just follow every step you did with the howto and change everything as it was at the native configs etc.

l disabled mod_security.
kabuto:~# a2dismod mod-security2
Module mod-security2 disabled; run /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload to fully disable.

When i Restart the apache service, I get the following error:
kabuto:~# apache2ctl restart
Syntax error on line 53 of /etc/modsecurity2/modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf:
Invalid command 'SecRuleEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Line 53:
SecRuleEngine On

what?

[BeNe]

run

Code:

etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload

to fully disable.
But this _should_ be similar to apache2ctl restart.
Maybe it helps.
Is there an other config that loads mod_security on your Server ?
Take a lookt at apache2/mods-enabled/

Apache2/mods-enabled:
kabuto:/etc/apache2/mods-enabled# cat mod-security2.load
LoadFile /usr/lib/libxml2.so
LoadFile /usr/lib/liblua5.1.so.0
LoadModule security2_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_security2.so

---

I could fix it, but I would say if either:
- Comment out the lines of the following files:
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mod-security2.load
/etc/apache2/conf.d/mod-security2.conf

a2dismod mod-security2
apache2ctl restart


It worked.
