(Ovid) Re: 405 error ( was: The Use of Use)

Your problem probably is not with DBI or your module. You may have issues there, but it's the 405 Error - Method Not Allowed that we're worried about here. Here's the definition of a 405:

The method specified in the Request Line is not allowed for the resource identified by the request. Please ensure that you have the proper MIME type set up for the resource you are requesting.

I suspect that this is not a code issue. We'll need more info:

What Web server are you running?
What operating system?
Have you verified that the extension for that filename is recognized by your Web server as executable?
Or, does your Web server consider anything in the directory the script is in as executable?
Posting some of the code in question can't hurt. But, as I said, I doubt it's the issue.

My guess is your Web server, for whatever reason, is not recognizing the script as executable.

Cheers,

If you're getting this error from the web server, then the URL you're using to try to access your script is wrong, your script is in the wrong place, or is otherwise misconfigured. Check the error log of your server for more clues. 404 is a 'not found' error. This means that the error isn't in your script at all (although your script may indeed have errors). Your script isn't even being run. stephen	[reply]
