What should I do to fix this? The VPS got all the latest updates installed through yum.
  • OS: CentOS 6.7 (Final)
  • Plesk version: 12.0.18 Update #65
 
Syntax error on line 12 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/00_mod_security.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/modsecurity.d/rules/tortix/modsec/50_plesk_basic_asl_rules.conf: Permission denied

What are the permissions of file /etc/httpd/conf/modsecurity.d/rules/tortix/modsec/50_plesk_basic_asl_rules.conf ?
 
I've disisntalled tortix WAF and reinstalled, now it seems to work and updates itself.
But I still get this error on the Plesk home admin screen:
