    Oh, sorry, forgot to post.

     

    under "iApps -> Templates -> TemplatesLX" I newly imported the noarch-files, then it was ok

    I've got another VE-Testmachine and I see a big difference with files:

     

    On the non-working machine I see under ls /var/config/rest/iapps/ only an empty folder RPMS

     

    On a working machine I see under ls /var/config/rest/iapps/:

     

    A lot of folders beginning with f5-iappslx-...

    I found this:

    https://techdocs.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/releasenotes/product/relnote-guided-config-4-1.html#taskId

    under Known Issues ID 748912:

    1. "After a failover on a multi-blade chassis, the following error message may sometimes appear when attempting to access the guided configurations: "Not Found The requested URL /iapps/f5-iappslx-waf-app-comp-protection/index.html was not found on this server." To successfully access the guided configurations:Log in to the BIG-IP device via SSH.
    2. Run the following command: cd /var/config/rest/iapps/
    3. Run the following command: rm -rf f5-iappslx*
    4. In the BIG-IP UI, go to Security > Guided Configuration and the guided configurations will reinstall for viewing and editing.

    but when i have a look:

     # ls -al  /var/config/rest/iapps/
    total 12
    drwxr-xr-x.  3 root root 4096 Nov 21 08:53 .
    drwxr-xr-x. 13 root root 4096 Nov 19 12:34 ..
    drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root 4096 Nov 19 09:22 RPMS

    there is only the empty folder RPMS

    (when I use Firefox I get the message "Not Found

    The requested URL /iapps/f5-iappslx-access-framework/index.html was not found on this server.)

    thanks, but still the same.

     

    because we're usually working with TACACS-Auth, i've tried the admin/root user, makes no difference.

    removed ASM-Policies, still the same.

     

    got no idea where to search, opened a case in support, maybe they can help.

     

    btw: this is a VE test-machine, but the same on a cluster of 2 i4800

  • Karl,

     

    From CLI try issuing the following command then attempt to access guided config again:

    # bigstart restart restjavad restnoded

     

    Best,

    Andrew
