I'm facing Rule execution error - PCRE limits exceeded (-8): (null). errors when I ask ModSecurity to analyse body data (using the SecRequestBodyAccess On directive).

I've read about the problem, and I tried to increase the limit, both on Apache2 and php-fpm :

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf

SecPcreMatchLimit 5000000
SecPcreMatchLimitRecursion 5000000

/etc/php/8.0/fpm/php.ini

[Pcre]
pcre.backtrack_limit = 1000000000
pcre.recursion_limit = 1000000000

I restarted both Apache2 and PHP-FPM services using systemctl, and I still hit the PCRE limits exceeded. The two configurations seems to not be loaded.

How can I make sure the configuration is loaded ?

In my case, the configuration was written in the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf instead of /etc/modsecurity.conf
