    Hello

    after mod_security installation throught easyapache the rules configuration is empty

    so, what think is good rules to download and set for hosting server ?

    On other server a sysadmin have set in WHM > modesecurity config :

    <IfModule mod_security2.c>
    Include /usr/local/apache/conf/rul_modsec/*.conf
    </IfModule>

    any suggest about this or other rules project ?

    Thanks

    Hello

    We have installed rules

    File modsec2.user.conf is ok:

    Include /usr/local/apache/modsecurity.d/*asl*.conf
    Include /usr/local/apache/modsecurity.d/exclude.conf

    BUT there is nothing filtered on more than 10 days.. impossible

    How we can make simple test ?

    We have already restart apache, all works fine except mod_security :(

    Assuming there is some sort of configuration issue with your added rulesets, try this to see if we can get you going at least.

    In WHM, very bottom of left menu find Mod Security and click.
    Top of the page that opens, there should be a button here titled Edit Config, click it.
    Next page you should see some links at top. Is the box below empty? At top of page click Default Configuration and automagically fill the box.

    Now Click Save Configuration. Restart Apache for good measure.

    WHM Config have value of modsec2.user :

    Include /usr/local/apache/modsecurity.d/*asl*.conf
    Include /usr/local/apache/modsecurity.d/exclude.conf
