Description This Article describes how to fix the error in accessing the GUI after the upgrade.
Scope FortiWeb.
Solution

After upgrading the firmware on the FortiWeb, there might be an issue. The GUI is returning 'ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE' for the Login banner, and the user will not be able to access the GUI anymore. However, the SSH will work fine.

 

This happens if the Pre-login banner is enabled. The error will look like the screenshot below:

This will be fixed in upcoming releases: v7.0.13, v7.2.13, v7.4.12, v7.6.7, and v8.0.3.

 

Note:

The issue is only for v8.0.2, v7.6.6, v7.4.11, v7.2.12, and 7.0.12.

 

There is a workaround for this fix. For that, SSH access to FortiWeb (Putty or SecureCRT) and  enter below commands:

 

config system global

    set pre-login-banner disable

end

 

Note:

This error only occurs if the Pre-login banner is enabled.

 

After issuing the above commands, open a new tab and enter the GUI by using FortiWeb IP. If there is still the same issue after this command, reach out to support for further help.
