I have just installed SuSE 11.1. When I try to start Apache 2 from the command line I get the following:
Starting httpd2 (prefork) Syntax error on line 2 of /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_security2.conf:
Invalid command ‘SecRuleEngine’, perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
When I try to install it using YAST I get the following
Cannot adjust ‘Apache2’ service
I have narrowed it down to ModSecurity. I have reinstalled all the Apache 2 apps and all the required libraries and modules. No luck. Is it something I am doing? Any help and advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
I had this exact same issue. This is how I solved it.
I downloaded the latest tar of ModSecurity, unpacked the tar, read the compile and install instructions. Follow them step by step.
I then added the following to my httpd.conf file, please note that this was probably not the most elegant of solutions, but it worked.
Includes for ModSecurity2
LoadFile /usr/lib/libxml2.so
LoadFile /usr/lib/liblua.so.5.1
LoadModule security2_module /usr/lib/apache2/mod_security2.so
Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_security2.conf
The only bug I had was that the debug and session logs for ModSecuriy failed to build. “mlogc” so I had to comment them out in the mod_security2.conf file.
Other than that, Apache2 is up and running fine.
Hope this helps!

P.S.
If anyone has a solution to the “mlogc” build issue, please post.
