modsecurity_rules_file directive failed to allocate shared memory - SecAuditLog in FreeBSD

[Kage]

I'm having the same or similar issue as in #127 whenever trying to load rules files. Nginx 1.14.2, libmodsecurity v3.0.3, FreeBSD 10.3. The problem presents itself whenever trying to set anything for SecAuditLog (if I comment out all SecAudit* lines in modsecurity.conf, everything works), which presents the following error:

# service nginx restart
Performing sanity check on nginx configuration:
nginx: [emerg] "modsecurity_rules_file" directive Failed to allocate shared memory (1): Function not implemented in /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/hackthissite.org.conf:36

Hi @Kage, thanks for reporting.

Can you let us know if this issue doesn't happen on the same environment but with the previous release of libModSecurity (3.0.2)?

Assuming the issue is fixed.
