Overview

Going to be compiling mod_security2 (v2.9.7) for Apache2 on Ubuntu 22.04. This module is pretty straight forward to compile. However, there are some dependencies.

sudo apt install apache2-dev gcc libxml2 libxml2-dev libpcre3-dev

If you already have libapache2-mod-security2 installed via apt then disable and uninstall it.

sudo a2dismod security2
sudo apt purge libapache2-mod-security2

Then fetch the latest tarball from their github releases page. Then compile it using normal make cmds.

https://github.com/owasp-modsecurity/ModSecurity/releases/tag/v2.9.7

sudo su
cd /opt
wget https://github.com/owasp-modsecurity/ModSecurity/releases/download/v2.9.7/modsecurity-2.9.7.tar.gz
tar -xzvf modsecurity-2.9.7.tar.gz
cd modsecurity-2.9.7
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs
make
make install
echo 'LoadModule security2_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_security2.so' > /etc/apache2/mods-available/security2.load
a2enmod security2
systemctl restart apache2

Then you should be able to see mod security enabled and working in the Apache error logs.
