Hello @gk6301965 ,

That sort of error message can appear if you have mismatched versions of nginx.

I.e. if the version of nginx that you are running (e.g. nginx -v) does not match the version of nginx that was used when the ngx_http_modsecurity_module was built.

When you are following instructions for the ModSecurity-nginx connector, there will be a step where you download the nginx source. This will be where you do make modules The version of the source code that you downloaded must be the same as the version of nginx that you are actually running.

See for example https://www.nginx.com/blog/compiling-and-installing-modsecurity-for-open-source-nginx/#4 %E2%80%93-Download-the-NGINX-Connector-for-ModSecurity-and-Compile-It-as-a-Dynamic-Module
