I thought I would post the answer as an FYI because I would not believe it, but ... It is possbile to produce this error by mal-formed html. A customer reported that a form produced by netobjects would not work, producing the method not allowed error. The html is hopelessly complex but the <form> ... </form> tags contains the input fields and the submit button. Apparently that is not enough. I recoded the form by hand (composer / kate / vi) to make it work with no changes to apache. The only references to this error I could find in questions, google, and apache.org suggest "Method Not Allowed" is a configuration error. Not so. I did not attempt to debug the NetObj form leaving that to the customer. On Sat, 31 May 2003 doug@safeport.com wrote: > This only relates to FreeBSD in that apache happens to be running on it.
