I've set up a CentOS 5 system as a server for http installs.
Currently up-to-date with
httpd-2.2.3-11.el5_1.centos.3
mod_security-2.1.7-1.el5
my installs were failing just after the root password set up, before
software selection.
I tracked it down to a server error 500 and it was due to
mod_security claiming the comps.xml file was too big
The error:
[Tue Jun 10 09:59:01 2008] [error] [client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX]
ModSecurity: Output filter: Content-Length (934390) over the limit
(524288). [hostname "XXX.XXX"] [uri "/install/centos/5/x86_64/
repodata/comps.xml"] [unique_id "VJNb-4inMQIAACd0XcwAAAAA"]
This is set in /etc/httpd/mod_security.d/modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf
SecResponseBodyLimit 524288
I increased that size and all is now well, but can somebody enlighten
me as to the purpose of that setting?
I've started reading the document in
/usr/share/doc/mod_security-2.1.7/doc/modsecurity2-apache-reference.pdf
is there other good documentation for mod_security?
