Mod_security Bug

[Josh12]

When trying to install atomic's subscription rules this error shows.

Failed to install the ModSecurity rule set: SecReadStateLimit is depricated, use SecConnReadStateLimit instead. AH00526: Syntax error on line 40 of /etc/apache2/modsecurity.d/rules/atomic/modsec/01_asl_domain_blocks.conf: Error creating rule: Could not open phrase file "/etc/asl/custom-domain-blocks": No such file or directory

Here is a quote from atomic's website that seems to be related

Definitely report this as a bug to Parallels, they arent installing the rules correctly. You're getting those that error because Plesk is incorrectly installing this rule file:

/etc/apache2/modsecurity.d/rules/atomic/modsec/01_asl_domain_blocks.conf

And not this one:

/etc/asl/custom-domain-blocks

As documented here:

https://www.atomicorp.com/wiki/index.ph ... locks.conf

So, if you just touch that file, this error will go away:

Syntax error on line 40 of /etc/apache2/modsecurity.d/rules/atomic/modsec/01_asl_domain_blocks.conf: Error creating rule: Could not open phrase file "/etc/asl/custom-domain-blocks": No such file or directory

This is happening because theres some kind of bug in Plesk that causes it to bypass our rule installer altogether. So definitely report this as a bug to them as unfortunately Plesk itself is causing your broken configuration and maybe they have a fix for this.

Are we going to see a fix for this in the near future?

PS, the fix for this bug is below

touch /etc/asl/custom-domain-blocks
