Mod Security Errors missing files in /var/asl/data/msa folder

[fuzioneer]

I am seeing hordes of errors from Mod Security in apache log file as follows:-

ModSecurity: Failed to access DBM file "/var/asl/data/msa/global": Permission denied
ModSecurity: Failed to access DBM file "/var/asl/data/msa/ip": Permission denied

I have checked and both files are missing i.e. the /var/asl/data/msa folder is empty ???

You actually had this same problem last year:

ah fixed it myself

for future info for anyone else

I followed the info here to build the files and set permissions (I think the main issue was the /var/asl/data sub folders were all owned by root and not by nobody
