Atomic modsecurity rules update question

[inthukha]

Hello,

I want to know about atomic modsecurity update rule process.

i setup the atomic modsecurity rules in july end. and downloaded the latest version that time was available but i didn't remember what rules version was that. but i believe it was "Jan 10 2013" rules for 2.5 modsecurity version.

now i have modsecurity 2.7.4 that is still using the "Jan 10 2013" rules. i seen at atomic free rule website and there are available new rules that release on 16 august 2013 at: http://updates.atomicorp.com/channels/rules/delayed/modsec-2.7-free-latest.tar.gz

question is, how can i implement this ? just download this and extract in the same way that i do in installation ? and overwrite all existing rules with this ?

please advise.

Yes, if the file names are the same, moving the old out of the way and the new in, should work fine. Restart Apache afterward.

Here is my update script that I use:
SSH to server, login, su to root

Run commands:
cd /usr/local/apache/conf/modsec_rules
wget http://updates.atomicorp.com/channels/rules/delayed/modsec-2.7-free-latest.tar.gz
tar -zxf modsec-2.7-free-latest.tar.gz
rm -f modsec-2.7-free-latest.tar.gz
cd modsec
mv -f * /usr/local/apache/conf/modsec_rules
cd ..
ls -la

Finally:
Restart apache through WHM

Obviously the above can be simplified but it works for me.
