Hi,

 

F5 bigIP 1500 is an old appliance which lives the last supported year.

 

How did you to connect previously? through HTTPS URL like everyone...

 

Even if HTTP redirection to HTTPS is available in new versions, a little number of admins enable it...

 

trying to change httpd.conf file will not be supported and I'm not sure it will solve your problem.

 

You have 2 solutions:

 

  • continue to connect to GUI with https URL
  • contact your F5 local sales team to replace the old appliance by a virtual or physical appliance
