FreeBSD: Cannot load /usr/local/libexec/apache22/mod_security2.so into server: /usr/local/libexec/apache22/mod_security2.so

Q. I've installed Apache2 and mod_security21 under FreeBSD. Whenever I try to restart apach22 process I get following error:

Performing sanity check on apache22 configuration:
httpd: Syntax error on line 106 of /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/libexec/apache22/mod_security2.so into server: /usr/local/libexec/apache22/mod_security2.so: Undefined symbol "xmlFree"

How do I fix this problem?

A. First make sure you are running updated version for both Apache and mod_security. Next open your httpd.conf file:
vi /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf
Find line that read as follows:

LoadModule security2_module   libexec/apache22/mod_security2.so

Add line before above directive, so that it should look like as follows:

LoadFile /usr/local/lib/libxml2.so
LoadModule security2_module   libexec/apache22/mod_security2.so

Save and close the file. Restart apache:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 restart
