Hi Brian, thanks for your help. but no. Didn't work either. Nothing in the log files. Running "httpd.exe -t" to check the syntax doesn't return anything. Doesn't return "Syntax OK" as it should, but doesn't return any error messages (like the one saying that C:\Program isn't recognized as a valid command). P.s.: If were to make installation decisions, I'd have installed it on Linux ;-) I'm just supporting it. Raoni.

I've tried escaping &gt; the spaces with a backslash and inserting double quotes, but nothing seems to work. &gt; Obviously I don't want rotatelogs.exe to be on th root directory. &gt; &gt; These have been tried and didn't work: &gt; SecAuditLog "|C:\Program\ Files\Apache\ Software\ Foundation\Apache2.2\bin\rotatelogs... &gt; SecAuditLog "|C:\""Program Files""\""Apache Software Foundation"
 "\Apache2.2\bin\rotatelogs... &gt; &gt; Can someone tell me the right way to the escaping? Hmm. I don't have a Windows box handy right now, but maybe: SecAuditLog "|\"C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Apache2.2\\bin\\rotatelogs\" -l logs/%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S.modsec-error.log 86400" Or I think you can still use "/" instead of "\\". Normally I install in "C:\Apache" or "C:\ApacheHttpd" to avoid Windows silly usage of spaces in paths ;) -B -- Brian Rectanus Breach Security
