WAF no webserver configured - couldn't start

Question

Hi there, 
 
 I had a WAF rule configured for month. Since update to SFOS 17.1.3-MR3 I realized I couldn't edit my previously configured WAF rule. 
 This is due to the WAF service isn't even running. It says there are no web servers configured. I deleted the configured server and added one again (type: plaintext http). I restarted the XG but nothing changed. It still says there are no configured servers. 
 
 from the CLI: 
 # service WAF:status -ds nosync 200 UNREGISTERED 
 
 # service WAF:start -ds nosync 250 Unregistered 
 
 Any ideas?

Hi Andreas Körber 
 This could be an indication of a possible corruption that occurred during your upgrade process. 
 For context, what previous version did you upgrade from? Did you migrate to the XG from the UTM? Are you able to downgrade firmware versions and see if the issue persists? 
 Regards,

Thanks for your help. It was some kind of firmware issue. Afther booting the older firmware WAF worked as expected. 
 I downloaded the 17.1.3 update from MySophos, uploaded it to he XG and rebooted, the problem was solved.
