CGI problem: Method Not Allowed

RuneK has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all monks, I recently finished my cgi script to interact with my oracle server. Now I have ported it to a cgi script and everything works fine in my internal webserver, but as soon as I put in onto the apache(linux) server and execute the script I get the following error:

Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /clearcase/rune/s
+ql_executer.htm.

I'm not sure if this is a perl problem, but I thought I might ask the gurus. Thanks, RuneK

not a perl problem. Your live apache/linux server isn't configured the same as your internal server. They don't agree on how to handle your URLs -- your internal server is configured to (somehow) recognize that URL as a CGI and execute perl, you need to do the same for your live server	[reply]

The administrator of the production machine you are trying to deploy to has disallowed the POST method for that URI. This is not a Perl problem, it's an Apache configuration issue. You need to take this up with the administrator of the Apache server. --rjray	[reply]
