Hi all,

i have a cpanel Server running Apache 2.4 with mod_security 2.9 @ aum tool Installation/compile.
All fine - but, i got a lot of these Errors i can't handle:

[Thu May 14 10:55:23.095891 2015] [:error] [pid 37559] [Client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] ModSecurity: collections_remove_stale: Failed deleting collection (name "ip", key "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"): Internal error [hostname "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"] [uri "/images/nav.jpg"] [unique_id "VVRi@wVNJbkAAJK3BCYAAABg"]

i tried searching about this @Google - it seems its related the collection files -maybe ist a Special rule i may disable ? Or something else.
Hope someone could assist me ?

Thanks all :)

Sure this is a known mod_security bug:

https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/issues/576

Primarily we use the collections as a performance enhancement. Unfortunately there hasnt been a lot of movement on that bug (over 2 years old now, but I feel for them. This is a hard one), so we ended up implementing an alternate mechanism in ASL to handle this in lua instead.
