HTTP Error 405.0 - Method Not Allowed
The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) is being used.

Most likely causes:
The request sent to the Web server used an HTTP verb that is not allowed by the module configured to handle the request.
A request was sent to the server that contained an invalid HTTP verb.
The request is for static content and contains an HTTP verb other than GET or HEAD.
A request was sent to a virtual directory using the HTTP verb POST and the default document is a static file that does not support HTTP verbs other than GET or HEAD.

Things you can try:
Verify the list of verbs enabled for the module handler this request was sent to, and ensure that this verb should be allowed for the Web site.
Check the IIS log file to see which verb is not allowed for the request.
Check the failed request tracing logs for additional information about this error. For more information, click here.

ANY HELP ?!

[siam]

did your contact.php was ok ?

[dsonesuk]

Sounds as though its a problem with Windows IIS butting its nose in where its not required. If you have windows, and iis is present, try to disable it completely.

[mr.abuasbe]

this my contact.php

jQuery(function($)  
{
    $("#contact_form").submit(function()
    {
        var email = $("#email").val(); // get email field value
        var name = $("#name").val(); // get name field value
        var msg = $("#msg").val(); // get message field value
        $.ajax(
        {
            type: "POST",
            url: "https://mandrillapp.com/api/1.0/messages/send.json",
            data: {
                'key': 'sVRLFidC1A7K56TuUkyUQg',
                'message': {
                    'from_email': email,
                    'from_name': name,
                    'headers': {
                        'Reply-To': email
                    },
                    'subject': 'Website Contact Form Submission',
                    'text': msg,
                    'to': [
                    {
                        'email': 'mr.abuasbe@gmail.com',
                        'name': 'Riyadh Al Nur',
                        'type': 'to'
                    }]
                }
            }
        })
        .done(function(response) {
            alert('Your message has been sent. Thank you!'); // show success message
            $("#name").val(''); // reset field after successful submission
            $("#email").val(''); // reset field after successful submission
            $("#msg").val(''); // reset field after successful submission
        })
        .fail(function(response) {
            alert('Error sending message.');
        });
        return false; // prevent page refresh
    });
});

and windows iis is disabled ! (see attached photo)

[mr.abuasbe]

if some one can give me ready code i will be happy.. i need to finish this

 

thanks

[dsonesuk]

Don't believe such thing really means its fully disabled... we are talking about MS here :-)

 

Check in control panel -> Administrator tools -> Services -> scroll down to World Wide Publishing Service does it still exist? if so does it show as disabled.

 

Also you might have problem transferring from 'http' to 'https', it treated as not secure, and usually throws error.

[mr.abuasbe]

no its really not there, the same error also when i upload the website ..

what should id do ?!

i'm making a business site to friend and i promised him to finish it today, but this contact form make me disappointed

[dsonesuk]

Hang on...where is you name field coming from?

[mr.abuasbe]

[mr.abuasbe]

<?php
$field_name = $_POST['cf_name'];
$field_email = $_POST['cf_email'];
$field_message = $_POST['cf_message'];

$mail_to = 'mr.abu@gmail.com';
$subject = 'Message from a site visitor '.$field_name;

$body_message = 'From: '.$field_name."\n";
$body_message .= 'E-mail: '.$field_email."\n";
$body_message .= 'Message: '.$field_message;

$headers = 'From: '.$field_email."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$field_email."\r\n";

$mail_status = mail($mail_to, $subject, $body_message, $headers);

if ($mail_status) { ?>
	<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
		alert('Thank you for the message. We will contact you shortly.');
		window.location = 'contact_page.html';
	</script>
<?php
}
else { ?>
	<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
		alert('Message failed. Please, send an email to gordon@template-help.com');
		window.location = 'contact_page.html';
	</script>
<?php
}
?>

      <form action="contact.php" method="post">
                       Your name<br>
                       <input type="text" name="cf_name"><br>
                       Your e-mail<br>
                       <input type="text" name="cf_email"><br>
                       Message<br>
                       <textarea name="cf_message"></textarea>
                           <br>
                           <input type="submit" value="Send">
                           <input type="reset" value="Clear">
                   </form>

I just tested it and it works, so it must be some setting somewhere, causing it to fail.

 

Have you done the following? restart pc, restart all services on server, clear browser cache .

[Chikwado]

That code works perfectly, I have tested it in window 8 with IE9.
