  • Hi UHagi: Based on the error it is appearing there is another rule that exists on the database with the same name. I would suggest checking all rule's names to confirm any of them not configured with the same name (including the rules which are in the "Disabled" state as well)

  • that is not what he means. The error being returned is misleading. The error returned states, that a firewall with the very same rule name already exists. That was not the case, though. The same error will appear if you configure a WAF rule (different name) with a domain (virtual host which apache checks for based on SNI) which already exists in another rule. It's poor design in Webadmin.
