Help with nginx.conf

[Jeremy Cocks]

You need to install the modsec lib from here (it has instructions)
https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/
<https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/tree/v3/master>

Depending on what distribution you are on, there may also be a package for
it.

Thanks

Cheers
