Getting a 405 error when submitting a form

[MortimerJazz]

Hi there,

Any help would be much appreciated. I've just set up a simple form and a straight forward PHP script.

However, when I go to submit information I'm getting the following error message:

Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /index.html.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

Hi Jon,

Could you please copy paste the form content/code/script here ? There are several reasons for a form submission throwing that 'not much liked 405 error'.

Here's a common checklist to overcome it [hope this helps..] :

1) Set the action to the actual page or script that will be doing the processing for the form for a start.

2) Do not "nest' form tags, close one form tag & then start other.

3) Check file extension of the web page producing the error..

4) Specify a correct action [post/get] attribute in the form's property, it shouldn't be html, it should be some sort of script.

5) In PHP,this is almost due to Apache not being configured to treat the file you are trying to POST to as a CGI script. You can not POST to a normal HTML file; the operation has no meaning...

Or if you open up a support ticket, we'd be able to fix the issue quicker or you'd get a faster response...
