** Description changed: + [Impact] + + The libapache2-modsecurity package does not work out of the box (but a + workaround is available). + + [Test Case] + + apt-get -y install apache2 libapache2-modsecurity + + This fails with the following error, although the postinst does exit 0: + Setting up libapache2-modsecurity (2.6.3-1) ... + Action 'configtest' failed. + The Apache error log may have more information. + Your apache2 configuration is broken, so we're not restarting it for you. + + $ sudo apachectl configtest + apache2: Syntax error on line 210 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mod-security.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 into server: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory + Action 'configtest' failed. + The Apache error log may have more information. + + [Fix] + + Debian has fixed this by updating apache2 to use dlopen's search path + and changing mod-security.load to not use any absolute path. We have + merged apache2 and synced modsecurity-apache and verified that Quantal + is fixed. + + For Precise, we have backported the upstream apache2 dlopen search path + modification, and fixed the path in mod-security.load the same as + Debian. + + [Regression Potential] + + The modsecurity-apache fix is just the load path, so it should either + work or fail. I can't see any potential for regression here. + + The apache2 fix involves changing the behaviour of dynamic module loads. + There is now a fallback to use the dlopen search path if the name does + not use an absolute path. If there is a regression, it will probably be + with edge cases to do with module load paths and likely manifest + themselves as modules failing to load. "sudo apachectl configtest" + should reveal these. + + + Original bug description: + service apache2 restart apache2: Syntax error on line 210 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mod-security.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 into server: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Action 'configtest' failed. The Apache error log may have more information. - ...fail! - + ...fail! in file /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mod-security.load: LoadFile /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 - correct path on x86 would be /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxml2.so.2 maybe a symlink could fix this issue?
