METHOD NOT ALLOWED

[jxfish2]

I'm getting the following error when I attempt to submit a form, using the POST method:

The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /~webuser/form1.php.

The Apache access_log shows the following errors:

[10/Feb/2002:23:27:07 -0800] "POST /~webuser/form1.php HTTP/1.1" 405 248

I'm attempting to POST to a PHP document, from an HTML form.

<form action=&quot;main.php&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;>

The error / status code &quot;405&quot; indicates that the method specified in the Request-Line is not allowed for the resource identified by the Request-URI.

I believe the problem is with one of my webserver settings, some type of permissions error, but haven't been able to figure out what it is...

So, Any help would be much appreciated.

TIA

No... This is not a PHP issue... This is an HTML / Apache issue...

I've already executed the EXACT same scripts under HP-UX, and everything works fine...

The POST method is a standard HTML issue, but the permissions I speak of, are probably configured in Apache...

I've gone line-by-line through my http.conf file, and found the one and only section pertaining to <limit POST GET, etc..., but have not figured out what to modify...

I also have an Apache Web Server Administration manual, and have not been able to find anything on this particular error...

So, I'm looking for anyone who may have encountered this error &quot;405&quot; before...

Hi mate, do you have the following line uncommented?

<Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>

You mention it above but don`t mention whether it is commented or not..

Hope this helps
