Compiling mod_security in CentOs 6.5 - apr_crypto.h: No such file or directory

[fin358ile]

Hello,

I am trying to compile mod_security with Nginx in CentOS 6.5 env. Can some please help how to solve problem with missing "apr_crypto.h". In configure part there is a warning: "WARNING: APR util was not compiled with crypto support. SecRemoteRule will not support the parameter 'crypto'"

Thank you in advance.

Steps:

OS: CentOS release 6.5 (Final) 2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.x86_64

Pre-requirements:
yum install gcc make automake autoconf libtool
yum install pcre pcre-devel libxml2 libxml2-devel curl curl-devel httpd-devel

yum list installed | grep apr-devel
apr-devel.x86_64 1.3.9-5.el6_2 @base

Download:
git clone https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity.git mod_security
cd mod_security

There is an ommission in the configure.ac file. The patch below should allow you to compile fine. After you update the configure.ac file, run the autogen.sh script before executing ./configure

Hi,

rhel6 apr-devel was not compiled with crypto support apr_crypto.

Quickly
I use mod_secure and download from GITLAB (6.2.2015)

https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity

and press button "DOWNLOAD ZIP"

Untar,unzip ModSecurity-master.zip

2.

./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-standalone-module

vi apache2/modsecurity.h

line 55

#include "apr_crypto.h"

change and comment

//#include "apr_crypto.h"

vi apache2/msc_remote_rules.c

line 27 comment //#include "apr_crypto.h"

and

make

make is OK...

Hello,

I also see this error message. It continues to compile ok (modsecurity-2.9.0), but I do receive -

"configure: WARNING: APR util was not compiled with crypto support. SecRemoteRule will not support the parameter 'crypto'"

What are the ramifications here? I am using modsec on Nginx with RH 6.X kernel. What is broken in modsec as a result?

Thanks
