Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

Use brew to install the ModSecurity Apache module.

brew install homebrew/apache/mod_security

Ask Apache to load the module by editing the configuration file (at /etc/apache2/httpd.conf). Under the long list of LoadModule statements, add:

LoadModule security2_module /usr/local/Cellar/mod_security/2.7.7/libexec/mod_security2.so

While you are at it, load the mod_unique_id module as well. This is required by ModSecurity. Do so by uncommenting the line:
