PHP, ODBC, IIS 405 error

Dawnswood

Alright, I never thought I'd ever have to join a forum to get an answer, usually searching for answers to questions other people have asked was good enough but to get to the point, I'm having trouble with a "HTTP 405 - Resource not allowed" error on my login page.

I've searched through site after site and narrowed it down to having something to do with using POST in IIS. I've set up the ISAPI Filters for php, and allowed my execute permissions to "scripts" and have done most of everything else I could find through google. Still can't seem to get rid of that error. I switched POST to GET just to see if it would work that way, but I really didn't want to use the GET method.

I'm using versions:

•IIS 5.1
•PHP 5.2.14
•MS Access for the ODBC

Any ideas as to what else I should do would be welcome advice.

I'm not sure if that's the same error, but I think I saw something like that once when someone had an incorrect "enctype" attribute value in a <form> tag. (Normally you can just leave that attribute out and use the default "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", or when it includes a file upload, use it and set its value to "multipart/form-data".) Like I said, I'm not sure that's the same error and this may have nothing to do with your issue, but at least it's something to check. 🙂

Its not the same error, but thank you for replying. Its supposed to be a basic login system, enter username, password, click a login button or register as a new user. Upon clicking the login button with the method POST, it's supposed to connect to an access database, check to see if a user is even registered, if they are, check to see if the password is correct, if so, redirect to a secure home page. if the password is incorrect or the username doesn't exist, let the user know on the same login page, that the username or password were incorrect.

But for some reason, after all the attempts at using google to find an answer to this HTTP 405: Resource not allowed and making all the changes that I could find that were supposed to work, I still get the same error. I'd like to say that maybe PHP wasn't properly installed, but other php pages work as long as they don't have a post method when using the <form> tag. So if its not php, I know its more an IIS configuration thing for php, or maybe even something in the php.ini file that i've overlooked.

My guess would be something on the web server side, but I'm afraid I have zero experience with IIS (and wouldn't even call myself anything close to expert with Apache).
