"We were having this problem too. We have a web server behind and Astaro Security Gateway that has FrontPage Extensions installed on it. A customer was trying to update their homepage and couldn't do it. In the intrusion protection logs we saw warnings, "WEB-MISC cross site scripting attempt".

"Disabling that rule (disabling SID=1497 in Network Security > Intrusion Protection > Advanced > Manual rule modification) allowed the customer to once again update his page. But, it seems to me that this is disabling a large chunk of Cross Site Scripting protection. Does anyone have a better way to allow FrontPage Extensions to do it's thing without disabling this rule?"

…haven't gotten a reply yet.

The update proceeded well to a point, but then it just stopped. The system was stuck trying to update from version 7.202 to 7.300. After trying to use the built-in mechanisms for dealing with this (for about 3 hours) I finally googled it and came to a forum page that explains how to fix the Astaro 7.202 firmware upgrade to 7.300 problem.
In the end I think the real problem was that the download timed-out. To fix it we downloaded it from the ftp site and copied the update to the unit using SSH (Using WinSCP). From there we copied it into the /var/up2date/sys folder. After that we used the command suggested on the forum page above. Here's the command…
/sbin/auisys.plx –rpmargs –force
(I'm not sure the –force was necessary)
This was successful in updating to version 7.300. In fact, the command just kept going to perform all the updates. Now we have an updated Astaro. Beauty!
