method not allowed

**South** · 07-04-2004, 09:54 AM

Why would "method post" not be allowed from a specific url? I can post from one part of the site (ex. forms/form1.html), but when I try it from /contact/contactform.html I get the message

#############################################
METHOD NOT ALLOWED

The method post is not allowed from the url /contact/contact_form.html
##############################################

What typically would cause that?

Can you post a link or the code you are using?

Yeah, it's a template, but I'm in a hurry...I'll redo it later.

I'm using the standard php Form script standard in Cpanel. I've used it many times before but never had this happen.

action=""

You need to put something there.

I've already got

<form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='/forms/process.php' method='post'>

OK. That wasn't there when I looked.

Are you sure that is the correct path?

Exactly where is the process.php located?

Yeah that wasn't there when you looked Jazzee. The form is doing something different now, asks fr a username and password.

Sorry, I've screwed with it some since the post.

Hold on, I'll show it to you both ways.

Here is a saved version as it was when Jazzee 1st commented. Take a look at the first empty "action" but then look down further. Should that top one even be there? I thought it was left over from something else and took it out.

The top one with the empty action is the only form tag I see in that page. ?

Jazzee · 07-04-2004, 01:20 PM

Either way, I think it is failing because of the "action".

On that one, the action is empty and on the other one, you may have the wrong path to the script.

Where is the script located on your server?

The top one was a leftover from a user login form that was built into the template. I thought I got it all out.

On the actual form I had the path screwed up. It's working great now. Thanks for the help.

NP. Glad it's working
