Issue Unable to start Web Application Firewall (ModSecurity) – “Failed to download tortix rule set”

Hi everybody,

I’m experiencing an issue with the Web Application Firewall (ModSecurity) after purchasing the Atomic license. When attempting to enable the WAF using the “Atomic Advanced (bought from Plesk)” ruleset, I receive the following error:

Failed to install the ModSecurity rule set: modsecurity_ctl failed:
Failed to download ruleset from atomic. The ruleset archive '/etc/httpd/conf/modsecurity.d/rules/tortix_rule_set.tar.gz' can't be unpacked successfully.

I’ve already tried:

1. Reinstalling ModSecurity via Tools & Settings → Updates and Upgrades → Add/Remove Components.
2. Manually downloading the tortix_rule_set.tar.gz from Atomic’s update server and placing it in /etc/httpd/conf/modsecurity.d/rules/.
3. Restarting the firewall setup in Plesk, but the same error persists .

I got this problem now on 2 servers. The folders /etc/httpd/conf/modsecurity.d/rules/tortix/modsec/ are up to date though. The files are from 5th of july 16 o'clock

Any hints what i can do to get this working or what my problem is?
