sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/log/mod_evasive/

Create the config file and configure it

Code:

sudo vi /etc/apache2/mods-available/mod-evasive.conf

Add the following to the file

Code:

<ifmodule mod_evasive20.c>   DOSHashTableSize 3097   DOSPageCount  2   DOSSiteCount  50   DOSPageInterval 1   DOSSiteInterval  1   DOSBlockingPeriod  10   DOSLogDir   /var/log/mod_evasive   DOSEmailNotify  EMAIL@DOMAIN.com   DOSWhitelist   127.0.0.1 </ifmodule>
