[mod-security-users] Modsecurity 2.9.5 does not work on Windows server 2019

[Franklin W. <fwe...@gm...>]

Hi,


A problem has bothered us for several weeks and would like to get help here.

We installed a fresh Windows 2019 (Datacenter) server with a whole new IIS
server.  Then we installed ModSecurity 2.9.5 WIndows version.  It was
installed successfully.  The installer file was downloaded from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/modsecurity.mirror/files/v2.9.5/

But when we tried to connect to http://localhost what we got is 503 error.
And the log in IIS showed "Can not load
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\ModSecurityIIS.dll, data is the error"
(translated back from Chinese).

We tried to installed 64 bit only which seemed to work (at least no 503
error), but the test rule we set did not work.  No logs were generated
either.

We've searched plenty of pages on Internet, including github issues, but no
luck.

Any help would be appreciated.  If you need more info feel free to tell me.


Thanks, Franklin
