Any body know how to get SecRule to work with mod_security2.c ? I kept on getting this error message when I start my apache-2.2.3 server: ... [truong@gendev-lnx 2.2.3]$ ./restart Syntax error on line 41 of /home/truong/apache/2.2.3/conf/hole/mod_security2.conf: Internal Error: Failed to add rule to the ruleset. httpd not running, trying to start ... And here is line 41 of my mod_security.conf file: ... 39 # Turn on Rule Engine 40 SecRuleEngine On 41 SecRule REQUEST_URI dirty ... Is there something I have to turn on (e.g SecFilterEngine On) ? Thanks for your help.

Hmm, your configuration works for me here. Can I suggest you try two things? First upgrade to 2.0.4-dev1 and try again. If that does not work please join us on the mod-security-users mailing list (see here https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mod-security-users).
