HTTP 405: The HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed

Hi
I started to get this error after I inserted tables into my index.htm
page. I have a small form (username/password) that runs to a small .asp
page which then redirect based on information provided.

I read a couple of post regarding this situation and it talks about
installing a perl CGI script interpreter. Does adding tables require me
to do so? Could it be something else?
If I remove the tables it the form works again.

Thanks in advance.

I doubt it has anything to do with the HTML in your index.htm page. And if
you are using ASP, then installing PERL isn't going to help either.

When the browser makes a request to the server, it sends a HTTP verb (e.g.
GET, POST, TRACE, HEAD). the 405 status indicates that the verb the client
is using is configured as not allowed on the IIS server for that type of
page. You need to change the IIS configuration.

To work out what the browser is actually sending, let's have a look in the
IIS logfiles (typically located in
c:\windows\system32\logfiles\w3svc\

Open up the logfile for the relevant website, and copy/paste the 405 entries
here.

Cheers

I'm guessing you have URLScan [or IISLockdown] installed, and it is blocking
HTTP verbs. You might want to first check the urlscan.log file, and if you
see blocked verbs associated with your test attempts in there, then you need
to edit the urlscan.ini file and restart IIS. Does your form use POST
perhaps? More info and the locations of those files:

405 usually comes about when you try to POST to a resource that is
considered static by IIS. It has nothing to do with Perl - no idea how you
are searching to find that wrong information.

I presume your small form POSTs to a small .ASP page.
- Make sure your small form actually POSTs to an .ASP page and not some
other page which is considered static.
- If the form POSTs to an .ASP page, make sure that .ASP actually has an
Application Mapping to asp.dll and the vdir containing the .ASP page has at
least "Scripts" Execute Permission enabled.
