From the command line after installing mod_security and trying to restart apache:

Syntax error on line 37 of /etc/httpd/modsecurity.d/30_asl_antispam.conf:
Error creating rule: Could not open phrase file "/etc/httpd/modsecurity.d/domain-blacklist.txt": No such file or directory

OK ... when I did yum update mod_security did that screw evreything up?

No, just that we have added a lot of new rulesets to it, and they're not included in the rpm. We update them through the asl command line utility instead. You know, like freshclam in clamav. Sometimes we'll do 4 or 5 updates in a day. I think we'll make that an automatic event (configurable of course) in the next minor update.
