 +We try to keep LSWS compatible with the latest mod_security 2.5(and above) and gotroot rules. LSWS supports most of these rules and attempts not to miss any really important features/​rules used in the real world. We also keep updating support based on our user feedback. ​ However, because of the complexity and always updating nature of these security rules, it is not possible to be 100% compatible with Apache at any one time. 
 +
 +The above error messages simply mean these variables are not supported by LSWS yet. They can be simply ignored. ​
 +We will periodically review our mod_security engine and add new support to it. Stay tuned.  ​
