Comment 1 Guillaume Rousse 2012-09-16 14:48:17 CEST
I can't reproduce the issue: apache starts correctly after installing mod_security and mod_security core rules set.

Status: NEW => UNCONFIRMED
Summary: 3_a1: systemctl start httpd.service fails with Syntax error on line 132 => syntax error in mod_security core rules set default configuration files
Ever confirmed: 1 => 0

Comment 2 Bit Twister 2012-09-16 15:35:28 CEST

Changed Summary back to original error text so other people can find this bug so they will not open a duplicate.

(In reply to comment #1)

> I can't reproduce the issue: 

I uninstalled apache-mod_security-crs, installed 
apache-mod_security-crs-2.2.5-1.mga3.noarch.rpm and still get the failure.

I changed RPM PACKAGE back to apache-mod_security-crs-2.2.5-1.mga3.src.rpm since that is the src rpm which appears to have the bad /etc/httpd/conf/modsecurity.d/modsecurity_crs_50_outbound.conf file.

> apache starts correctly after installing mod_security and mod_security core rules set.

I can not find those rpms.

This install has all updates applied Sun Sep 16 08:31:18 CDT 2012

Comment 3 Bit Twister 2012-09-16 18:29:57 CEST
I was finally able to update my virtual box guest and it does not have the problem.

I'll wipe my test box and do another clean install and re-open this bug if the problem is still there.
