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.
  • Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click
