Issue Lastest ModSecurity Broke Sites

[J.Wick]

Server operating system version

Rocky Linux 8.10 (Green Obsidian)

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.79 Update #1 Web Pro Edition

A bunch of my Joomla websites went down after today's ModSecurity update. Disabling it brought the sites back up; turning it back on seemed to reset something and is working.

New configuration files for the Apache web server were not created due to the errors in configuration templates: [Wed Jul 08 01:43:41.503171 2026] [so:warn] [pid 4479:tid 140434063290048] AH01574: module unique_id_module is already loaded, skipping httpd: Syntax error on line 357 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 13 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/00_mod_security.conf: No matches for the wildcard '00*exclude.conf' in '/etc/httpd/modsecurity.d', failing (use IncludeOptional if required) . Detailed error descriptions were sent to you by email. Please resolve the issues and click here to generate broken configuration files once again or here to generate all configuration files.

Running the repair link fixed the error.
