Error "Can't associate Bot Signature"

Hi,

      I made a change in the bigip.conf file and after trying to execute the command below I get this error:

COMMAND : (tmos) load sys config file /config/bigip.conf

ERROR :

Validating configuration... /config/bigip.conf 01070734:3: Configuration error: Can't associate Bot Signature (/Common/asm-hidden/ASM-search-engine-Bing Ad Idx) folder does not exist Unexpected Error: Validating configuration process failed.

Can someone explain to me what might have happened? I have the ASM module enabled but no configuration.

    you simply messed up your config file. Make sure you have a copy of your config, restore the last known good config from the latest backup (or .ucs file) and use diff utility (or WinDiff on Windows) to see what was changed - likely something like { symbol got left out somewhere. If you are still stuck raise an F5 support issue by e-mailing support@
