mod security

How do I download and install mod security on Debian 6?

 

You can do that by using debian's package manager. So, install 'libapache2-mod-security' if it's not installed already and then you need to actually enable it.

Code:

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade --show-upgraded -y
apt-get install libapache-mod-security -y
a2enmod mod-security

That's how I would install it on a Debian box

 

When I try to install it I get this message:

E: Unable to locate package libapache2-mod-security

 

Sorry that was a typo. The package is named as:

Code:

 ┌┤host->root /
 └╼ apt-cache search libapache2-mod-security
libapache-mod-security - Tighten web applications security for Apache

so install 'libapache-mod-security' instead of 'libapache2-mod-security'.

 

Yes that worked much better!
