405 Method Not Allowed: What It Is and How to Fix It

An overview of what a 405 Method Not Allowed response is, including troubleshooting tips to help you resolve this error in your own application.

The 405 Method Not Allowed is an HTTP response status code indicating that the server received and recognized the specified request HTTP method, but the server rejected that particular method for the requested resource. This code response confirms that the requested resource is valid and exists, but the client has used an unacceptable HTTP method during the request.

Like most HTTP response codes — especially for those that indicate an error — it can be challenging to find the cause of a 405 Method Not Allowed response.

In this article, we’ll examine the 405 Method Not Allowed in more detail. We’ll look at what might cause this message, along with a handful of tips for diagnosing and debugging the appearance of this error within your application. We’ll also examine popular content management systems (CMSs) for potential problem areas that could cause an unexpected 405 Method Not Allowed.

Server- or Client-Side?

All HTTP response status codes in the 4xx category are client error responses. This category contrasts with 5xx classification errors, such as the 503 Service Unavailable Error. These are server error responses. That said, the appearance of a 4xx error doesn’t necessarily mean the issue is on the client-side, where the “client” is the web browser or device being used to access the application.

If you’re trying to diagnose an issue within your application, you can ignore most client-side code and components, such as HTML, cascading style sheets (CSS), client-side JavaScript, etc. This doesn’t apply solely to websites, either. Standard web applications power many smartphone apps that implement a modern-looking user interface.

On the other hand, this doesn’t entirely rule out the server as the actual cause of a 405 error. In some cases, the server may be mishandling requests. This could result in 405 code responses and other problematic traffic routing issues. We’ll explore some of these scenarios (and potential solutions) below. Be aware that, even though the 405 Method Not Allowed is considered a client error response, it doesn’t inherently mean we can rule out the client or the server as the culprit.

Start With a Thorough Application Backup

It is critical that you perform a complete backup of your application before attempting any fixes to the system.

Even better, create a complete copy of the application onto a secondary staging server that isn’t active. This will give you a clean testing ground to test all potential fixes without threatening your live application.

Diagnosing a 405 Method Not Allowed

As discussed in the introduction, a 405 Method Not Allowed indicates that the user agent (the web browser, in most cases) has requested a valid resource using an invalid HTTP method.

This could happen in a few different circumstances:

The user agent accidentally sent an incorrect HTTP method
The server is expecting only a handful of valid HTTP methods for the requested resource

Currently, there are nine possible HTTP methods, though some of them are far more prevalent than others. For example, the GET method handles most requests made on the Internet to retrieve data (i.e. “get” a page or resource). The POST method is the second-most common, and it’s typically used to send data to the server (such as login credentials).

Since each possible HTTP method has its own intended uses, it often doesn’t make sense for a server to accept requests using specific methods for particular resources. For example, a resource might exist at the URL https://airbrake.io/users/create, where the server creates a new user when valid credentials are sent via a POST HTTP method request. Therefore, it makes no sense for the server to accept a GET request at that resource/URL, so it may respond with a 405 Method Not Allowed code.

Troubleshooting on the Client-Side

Since the 405 response is a client error response code, it’s best to start troubleshooting any potential client-side issues. Here are a handful of tips to try on the browser or device giving you problems.

Check the Requested URL

The most common cause of a 405 Method Not Allowed is simply inputting an incorrect URL. As discussed before, many web servers will disallow access to improper URLs.

This could be anything from trying to access a file directory via a URL to gaining access to a private page meant for other users. Double-check the exact URL returning the 405 Method Not Allowed error.

Debugging Common Platforms

If you’re running common software packages on the server responding with the 405 Method Not Allowed, you may want to look into the stability and functionality of those platforms.

The most common content management systems (CMSs) — like WordPress, Joomla!, and Drupal — are typically well-tested. Once you start making modifications to the underlying extensions or PHP code, it’s easy to cause unforeseen issues resulting in a 405 error.

Troubleshoot some of these popular software platforms using the tips below.

Rollback Recent Upgrades

Suppose you recently updated the content management system before the 405 Method Not Allowed appeared. You may want to consider rolling back to the previous version you had installed when things were working fine.

Similarly, any extensions or modules you may have recently upgraded can also cause server-side issues, so reverting to previous versions may also help.

Simply Google “downgrade [PLATFORM_NAME] for assistance with this task.” In some cases, however, certain CMSs don’t provide a version downgrade capability, which indicates that they consider the base application and each new version released to be stable and bug-free.

Uninstall New Extensions, Modules, or Plugins

New extensions, modules, and plugins within your CMS all serve the same purpose across every system: improving the capabilities and features of the platform beyond what it’s typically capable of out of the box.

A word of caution: such extensions can take complete control of the system and make virtually any changes. As such, it may be wise to uninstall any new extensions if you suddenly see a 405 error.

Check for Unexpected Database Changes

It’s worth noting that, even if you uninstall an extension through the CMS dashboard, this doesn’t guarantee that changes made by the extension will fully revert. This is particularly true for many WordPress extensions. Some of these extensions are given carte blanche within the application, including full access rights to the database.

For example, some extensions modify database records that don’t “belong” to the extension itself but are instead created and managed by other extensions (or even the base CMS itself). The extension may not know how to revert alterations to database records, so it will ignore such things during uninstallation.

Your best course of action is to open the database and manually look through records that the extension modified.

Troubleshooting on the Server-Side

If you aren’t running a CMS application — or even if you are, but you’re confident the 405 Method Not Allowed error isn’t related to that — here are some additional tips to help you troubleshoot what might be causing the issue on the server-side of things.

Confirm Your Server Configuration

Your application is likely running on a server using one of these three popular webserver software: Apache, nginx, or Cloudflare. At the time of publication, these web servers make up over 86% of the world’s web server software! Check your configuration files for your web server software for unintentional redirect or request handling instructions.

Apache

To determine which web server your application uses, look for a key file. If your web server is Apache, look for an .htaccess file within the root directory of your website file system.

For example, if your application is on a shared host, you’ll likely have a username associated with the hosting account. You can find the application root directory at the path of /home/<username>/public_html/, so the .htaccess file would be at /home/<username>/public_html/.htaccess.

Once you’ve located the .htaccess file, open it in a text editor. Look for lines that use RewriteXXX directives, which are part of the mod rewrite module in Apache. Covering exactly how these rules work is well beyond the scope of this article. However, the basic concept is that a RewriteCond directive defines a text-based pattern that is matched against entered URLs. Suppose a visitor requests a matching URL to the site. In that case, the RewriteRule directive that follows one or more RewriteCond directives is used to perform the actual redirection of the request to the appropriate URL.

For example, here is a simple RewriteRule that matches all incoming GET requests to https://airbrake.io/users/create and responds with a 405 Method Not Allowed error code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/users/create/?.*$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} =GET

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://airbrake.io/users/new$1 [R=405,L]

Notice the R=405 flag at the end of the RewriteRule, which explicitly states that the response code should be 405. This indicates to user agents that the resource exists, but the provided HTTP method is not allowed. If you find any strange RewriteCond or RewriteRuledirectives in the .htaccess file that doesn’t belong, try temporarily commenting them out (using the # character prefix) and restarting your web server to see if this resolves the issue.

nginx

On the other hand, if your server is running on nginx, you’ll need to look for a completely different configuration file. By default this file is named nginx.conf. It’s located in one of a few common directories: /usr/local/nginx/conf, /etc/nginx, or /usr/local/etc/nginx.

Once located, open nginx.conf in a text editor and look for directives that are using the 405 response code flag. For example, here is a simple block directive (i.e. a named set of directives) that configures a virtual server for airbrake.io and ensures that a POST request to https://airbrake.io/users/create fails and is responded with a 405 response code:

server {

listen 80;

listen 443 ssl;

server_name airbrake.io;

location /users/create {

if ($request_method = POST) {

return 405 https://airbrake.io/users/create$request_uri;

}

Look through your nginx.conf file for any abnormal directives or lines that include the 405 flag. Comment out any abnormalities. Once that’s done, restart the server and see if the issue is resolved.

Configuration options for each different type of web server can vary dramatically. We’ll just list a few popular ones to give you some resources to look through:

Apache
Nginx
Cloudflare
IIS
Node.js
Apache Tomcat

Look Through the Logs

Nearly every web application will keep some form of server-side logs. Application logs are typically the history of what the application did, such as pages requested, connected servers, database results, etc.

Server logs are related to the actual hardware running the application. Logs will often provide details about the health and status of all connected services or the server itself.

Google “logs [PLATFORM_NAME]” if you’re using a CMS, or “logs [PROGRAMMING_LANGUAGE]” and “logs [OPERATING_SYSTEM]” if you’re running a custom application to get more information on finding the logs in question.

Debug Your Application Code or Scripts

If all else fails, it may be a problem in some custom code within your application. Manually debug your application and parse through application and server logs to diagnose where the issue may be coming from. Or, you can see the error in a manner of seconds using an error monitoring tool.

Airbrake’s error and performance monitoring software provides real-time error monitoring and automatic exception reporting for all development projects. In addition to this, Airbrake integrates with all popular languages and frameworks. Plus, Airbrake makes it easy to customize exception parameters, so you only gather the errors that matter.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) response status codes. Status codes are issued by a server in response to a client’s request made to the server. It includes codes from IETF Request for Comments (RFCs), other specifications, and some additional codes used in some common applications of the HTTP. The first digit of the status code specifies one of five standard classes of responses. The optional message phrases shown are typical, but any human-readable alternative may be provided, or none at all.

Unless otherwise stated, the status code is part of the HTTP standard (RFC 9110).

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) maintains the official registry of HTTP status codes.^[1]

All HTTP response status codes are separated into five classes or categories. The first digit of the status code defines the class of response, while the last two digits do not have any classifying or categorization role. There are five classes defined by the standard:

1xx informational response – the request was received, continuing process
2xx successful – the request was successfully received, understood, and accepted
3xx redirection – further action needs to be taken in order to complete the request
4xx client error – the request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled
5xx server error – the server failed to fulfil an apparently valid request

1xx informational response

An informational response indicates that the request was received and understood. It is issued on a provisional basis while request processing continues. It alerts the client to wait for a final response. The message consists only of the status line and optional header fields, and is terminated by an empty line. As the HTTP/1.0 standard did not define any 1xx status codes, servers must not^{[note 1]} send a 1xx response to an HTTP/1.0 compliant client except under experimental conditions.

100 Continue: The server has received the request headers and the client should proceed to send the request body (in the case of a request for which a body needs to be sent; for example, a POST request). Sending a large request body to a server after a request has been rejected for inappropriate headers would be inefficient. To have a server check the request’s headers, a client must send Expect: 100-continue as a header in its initial request and receive a 100 Continue status code in response before sending the body. If the client receives an error code such as 403 (Forbidden) or 405 (Method Not Allowed) then it should not send the request’s body. The response 417 Expectation Failed indicates that the request should be repeated without the Expect header as it indicates that the server does not support expectations (this is the case, for example, of HTTP/1.0 servers).^[2]
101 Switching Protocols: The requester has asked the server to switch protocols and the server has agreed to do so.
102 Processing (WebDAV; RFC 2518): A WebDAV request may contain many sub-requests involving file operations, requiring a long time to complete the request. This code indicates that the server has received and is processing the request, but no response is available yet.^[3] This prevents the client from timing out and assuming the request was lost.
103 Early Hints (RFC 8297): Used to return some response headers before final HTTP message.^[4]

2xx success

This class of status codes indicates the action requested by the client was received, understood, and accepted.^[1]

200 OK: Standard response for successful HTTP requests. The actual response will depend on the request method used. In a GET request, the response will contain an entity corresponding to the requested resource. In a POST request, the response will contain an entity describing or containing the result of the action.
201 Created: The request has been fulfilled, resulting in the creation of a new resource.^[5]
202 Accepted: The request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. The request might or might not be eventually acted upon, and may be disallowed when processing occurs.
203 Non-Authoritative Information (since HTTP/1.1): The server is a transforming proxy (e.g. a Web accelerator) that received a 200 OK from its origin, but is returning a modified version of the origin’s response.^[6]^[7]
204 No Content: The server successfully processed the request, and is not returning any content.
205 Reset Content: The server successfully processed the request, asks that the requester reset its document view, and is not returning any content.
206 Partial Content: The server is delivering only part of the resource (byte serving) due to a range header sent by the client. The range header is used by HTTP clients to enable resuming of interrupted downloads, or split a download into multiple simultaneous streams.
207 Multi-Status (WebDAV; RFC 4918): The message body that follows is by default an XML message and can contain a number of separate response codes, depending on how many sub-requests were made.^[8]
208 Already Reported (WebDAV; RFC 5842): The members of a DAV binding have already been enumerated in a preceding part of the (multistatus) response, and are not being included again.
226 IM Used (RFC 3229): The server has fulfilled a request for the resource, and the response is a representation of the result of one or more instance-manipulations applied to the current instance.^[9]

3xx redirection

This class of status code indicates the client must take additional action to complete the request. Many of these status codes are used in URL redirection.^[1]

A user agent may carry out the additional action with no user interaction only if the method used in the second request is GET or HEAD. A user agent may automatically redirect a request. A user agent should detect and intervene to prevent cyclical redirects.^[10]

300 Multiple Choices: Indicates multiple options for the resource from which the client may choose (via agent-driven content negotiation). For example, this code could be used to present multiple video format options, to list files with different filename extensions, or to suggest word-sense disambiguation.
301 Moved Permanently: This and all future requests should be directed to the given URI.
302 Found (Previously «Moved temporarily»): Tells the client to look at (browse to) another URL. The HTTP/1.0 specification (RFC 1945) required the client to perform a temporary redirect with the same method (the original describing phrase was «Moved Temporarily»),^[11] but popular browsers implemented 302 redirects by changing the method to GET. Therefore, HTTP/1.1 added status codes 303 and 307 to distinguish between the two behaviours.^[10]
303 See Other (since HTTP/1.1): The response to the request can be found under another URI using the GET method. When received in response to a POST (or PUT/DELETE), the client should presume that the server has received the data and should issue a new GET request to the given URI.
304 Not Modified: Indicates that the resource has not been modified since the version specified by the request headers If-Modified-Since or If-None-Match. In such case, there is no need to retransmit the resource since the client still has a previously-downloaded copy.
305 Use Proxy (since HTTP/1.1): The requested resource is available only through a proxy, the address for which is provided in the response. For security reasons, many HTTP clients (such as Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer) do not obey this status code.
306 Switch Proxy: No longer used. Originally meant «Subsequent requests should use the specified proxy.»
307 Temporary Redirect (since HTTP/1.1): In this case, the request should be repeated with another URI; however, future requests should still use the original URI. In contrast to how 302 was historically implemented, the request method is not allowed to be changed when reissuing the original request. For example, a POST request should be repeated using another POST request.
308 Permanent Redirect: This and all future requests should be directed to the given URI. 308 parallel the behaviour of 301, but does not allow the HTTP method to change. So, for example, submitting a form to a permanently redirected resource may continue smoothly.

4xx client errors

This class of status code is intended for situations in which the error seems to have been caused by the client. Except when responding to a HEAD request, the server should include an entity containing an explanation of the error situation, and whether it is a temporary or permanent condition. These status codes are applicable to any request method. User agents should display any included entity to the user.

400 Bad Request: The server cannot or will not process the request due to an apparent client error (e.g., malformed request syntax, size too large, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing).
401 Unauthorized: Similar to 403 Forbidden, but specifically for use when authentication is required and has failed or has not yet been provided. The response must include a WWW-Authenticate header field containing a challenge applicable to the requested resource. See Basic access authentication and Digest access authentication. 401 semantically means «unauthorised», the user does not have valid authentication credentials for the target resource.; Some sites incorrectly issue HTTP 401 when an IP address is banned from the website (usually the website domain) and that specific address is refused permission to access a website.^{[citation needed]}
402 Payment Required: Reserved for future use. The original intention was that this code might be used as part of some form of digital cash or micropayment scheme, as proposed, for example, by GNU Taler,^[13] but that has not yet happened, and this code is not widely used. Google Developers API uses this status if a particular developer has exceeded the daily limit on requests.^[14] Sipgate uses this code if an account does not have sufficient funds to start a call.^[15] Shopify uses this code when the store has not paid their fees and is temporarily disabled.^[16] Stripe uses this code for failed payments where parameters were correct, for example blocked fraudulent payments.^[17]
403 Forbidden: The request contained valid data and was understood by the server, but the server is refusing action. This may be due to the user not having the necessary permissions for a resource or needing an account of some sort, or attempting a prohibited action (e.g. creating a duplicate record where only one is allowed). This code is also typically used if the request provided authentication by answering the WWW-Authenticate header field challenge, but the server did not accept that authentication. The request should not be repeated.
404 Not Found: The requested resource could not be found but may be available in the future. Subsequent requests by the client are permissible.
405 Method Not Allowed: A request method is not supported for the requested resource; for example, a GET request on a form that requires data to be presented via POST, or a PUT request on a read-only resource.
406 Not Acceptable: The requested resource is capable of generating only content not acceptable according to the Accept headers sent in the request. See Content negotiation.
407 Proxy Authentication Required: The client must first authenticate itself with the proxy.
408 Request Timeout: The server timed out waiting for the request. According to HTTP specifications: «The client did not produce a request within the time that the server was prepared to wait. The client MAY repeat the request without modifications at any later time.»
409 Conflict: Indicates that the request could not be processed because of conflict in the current state of the resource, such as an edit conflict between multiple simultaneous updates.
410 Gone: Indicates that the resource requested was previously in use but is no longer available and will not be available again. This should be used when a resource has been intentionally removed and the resource should be purged. Upon receiving a 410 status code, the client should not request the resource in the future. Clients such as search engines should remove the resource from their indices. Most use cases do not require clients and search engines to purge the resource, and a «404 Not Found» may be used instead.
411 Length Required: The request did not specify the length of its content, which is required by the requested resource.
412 Precondition Failed: The server does not meet one of the preconditions that the requester put on the request header fields.
413 Payload Too Large: The request is larger than the server is willing or able to process. Previously called «Request Entity Too Large» in RFC 2616.^[18]
414 URI Too Long: The URI provided was too long for the server to process. Often the result of too much data being encoded as a query-string of a GET request, in which case it should be converted to a POST request. Called «Request-URI Too Long» previously in RFC 2616.^[19]
415 Unsupported Media Type: The request entity has a media type which the server or resource does not support. For example, the client uploads an image as image/svg+xml, but the server requires that images use a different format.
416 Range Not Satisfiable: The client has asked for a portion of the file (byte serving), but the server cannot supply that portion. For example, if the client asked for a part of the file that lies beyond the end of the file. Called «Requested Range Not Satisfiable» previously RFC 2616.^[20]
417 Expectation Failed: The server cannot meet the requirements of the Expect request-header field.^[21]
418 I’m a teapot (RFC 2324, RFC 7168): This code was defined in 1998 as one of the traditional IETF April Fools’ jokes, in RFC 2324, Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol, and is not expected to be implemented by actual HTTP servers. The RFC specifies this code should be returned by teapots requested to brew coffee.^[22] This HTTP status is used as an Easter egg in some websites, such as Google.com’s «I’m a teapot» easter egg.^[23]^[24]^[25] Sometimes, this status code is also used as a response to a blocked request, instead of the more appropriate 403 Forbidden.^[26]^[27]
421 Misdirected Request: The request was directed at a server that is not able to produce a response (for example because of connection reuse).
422 Unprocessable Entity: The request was well-formed but was unable to be followed due to semantic errors.^[8]
423 Locked (WebDAV; RFC 4918): The resource that is being accessed is locked.^[8]
424 Failed Dependency (WebDAV; RFC 4918): The request failed because it depended on another request and that request failed (e.g., a PROPPATCH).^[8]
425 Too Early (RFC 8470): Indicates that the server is unwilling to risk processing a request that might be replayed.
426 Upgrade Required: The client should switch to a different protocol such as TLS/1.3, given in the Upgrade header field.
428 Precondition Required (RFC 6585): The origin server requires the request to be conditional. Intended to prevent the ‘lost update’ problem, where a client GETs a resource’s state, modifies it, and PUTs it back to the server, when meanwhile a third party has modified the state on the server, leading to a conflict.^[28]
429 Too Many Requests (RFC 6585): The user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time. Intended for use with rate-limiting schemes.^[28]
431 Request Header Fields Too Large (RFC 6585): The server is unwilling to process the request because either an individual header field, or all the header fields collectively, are too large.^[28]
451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons (RFC 7725): A server operator has received a legal demand to deny access to a resource or to a set of resources that includes the requested resource.^[29] The code 451 was chosen as a reference to the novel Fahrenheit 451 (see the Acknowledgements in the RFC).

5xx server errors

The server failed to fulfil a request.

Response status codes beginning with the digit «5» indicate cases in which the server is aware that it has encountered an error or is otherwise incapable of performing the request. Except when responding to a HEAD request, the server should include an entity containing an explanation of the error situation, and indicate whether it is a temporary or permanent condition. Likewise, user agents should display any included entity to the user. These response codes are applicable to any request method.

500 Internal Server Error: A generic error message, given when an unexpected condition was encountered and no more specific message is suitable.
501 Not Implemented: The server either does not recognize the request method, or it lacks the ability to fulfil the request. Usually this implies future availability (e.g., a new feature of a web-service API).
502 Bad Gateway: The server was acting as a gateway or proxy and received an invalid response from the upstream server.
503 Service Unavailable: The server cannot handle the request (because it is overloaded or down for maintenance). Generally, this is a temporary state.^[30]
504 Gateway Timeout: The server was acting as a gateway or proxy and did not receive a timely response from the upstream server.
505 HTTP Version Not Supported: The server does not support the HTTP version used in the request.
506 Variant Also Negotiates (RFC 2295): Transparent content negotiation for the request results in a circular reference.^[31]
507 Insufficient Storage (WebDAV; RFC 4918): The server is unable to store the representation needed to complete the request.^[8]
508 Loop Detected (WebDAV; RFC 5842): The server detected an infinite loop while processing the request (sent instead of 208 Already Reported).
510 Not Extended (RFC 2774): Further extensions to the request are required for the server to fulfill it.^[32]
511 Network Authentication Required (RFC 6585): The client needs to authenticate to gain network access. Intended for use by intercepting proxies used to control access to the network (e.g., «captive portals» used to require agreement to Terms of Service before granting full Internet access via a Wi-Fi hotspot).^[28]

Unofficial codes

The following codes are not specified by any standard.

419 Page Expired (Laravel Framework): Used by the Laravel Framework when a CSRF Token is missing or expired.
420 Method Failure (Spring Framework): A deprecated response used by the Spring Framework when a method has failed.^[33]
420 Enhance Your Calm (Twitter): Returned by version 1 of the Twitter Search and Trends API when the client is being rate limited; versions 1.1 and later use the 429 Too Many Requests response code instead.^[34] The phrase «Enhance your calm» comes from the 1993 movie Demolition Man, and its association with this number is likely a reference to cannabis.^{[citation needed]}
430 Request Header Fields Too Large (Shopify): Used by Shopify, instead of the 429 Too Many Requests response code, when too many URLs are requested within a certain time frame.^[35]
450 Blocked by Windows Parental Controls (Microsoft): The Microsoft extension code indicated when Windows Parental Controls are turned on and are blocking access to the requested webpage.^[36]
498 Invalid Token (Esri): Returned by ArcGIS for Server. Code 498 indicates an expired or otherwise invalid token.^[37]
499 Token Required (Esri): Returned by ArcGIS for Server. Code 499 indicates that a token is required but was not submitted.^[37]
509 Bandwidth Limit Exceeded (Apache Web Server/cPanel): The server has exceeded the bandwidth specified by the server administrator; this is often used by shared hosting providers to limit the bandwidth of customers.^[38]
529 Site is overloaded: Used by Qualys in the SSLLabs server testing API to signal that the site can’t process the request.^[39]
530 Site is frozen: Used by the Pantheon Systems web platform to indicate a site that has been frozen due to inactivity.^[40]
598 (Informal convention) Network read timeout error: Used by some HTTP proxies to signal a network read timeout behind the proxy to a client in front of the proxy.^[41]
599 Network Connect Timeout Error: An error used by some HTTP proxies to signal a network connect timeout behind the proxy to a client in front of the proxy.

Internet Information Services

Microsoft’s Internet Information Services (IIS) web server expands the 4xx error space to signal errors with the client’s request.

440 Login Time-out: The client’s session has expired and must log in again.^[42]
449 Retry With: The server cannot honour the request because the user has not provided the required information.^[43]
451 Redirect: Used in Exchange ActiveSync when either a more efficient server is available or the server cannot access the users’ mailbox.^[44] The client is expected to re-run the HTTP AutoDiscover operation to find a more appropriate server.^[45]

IIS sometimes uses additional decimal sub-codes for more specific information,^[46] however these sub-codes only appear in the response payload and in documentation, not in the place of an actual HTTP status code.

nginx

The nginx web server software expands the 4xx error space to signal issues with the client’s request.^[47]^[48]

444 No Response: Used internally^[49] to instruct the server to return no information to the client and close the connection immediately.
494 Request header too large: Client sent too large request or too long header line.
495 SSL Certificate Error: An expansion of the 400 Bad Request response code, used when the client has provided an invalid client certificate.
496 SSL Certificate Required: An expansion of the 400 Bad Request response code, used when a client certificate is required but not provided.
497 HTTP Request Sent to HTTPS Port: An expansion of the 400 Bad Request response code, used when the client has made a HTTP request to a port listening for HTTPS requests.
499 Client Closed Request: Used when the client has closed the request before the server could send a response.

Cloudflare

Cloudflare’s reverse proxy service expands the 5xx series of errors space to signal issues with the origin server.^[50]

520 Web Server Returned an Unknown Error: The origin server returned an empty, unknown, or unexpected response to Cloudflare.^[51]
521 Web Server Is Down: The origin server refused connections from Cloudflare. Security solutions at the origin may be blocking legitimate connections from certain Cloudflare IP addresses.
522 Connection Timed Out: Cloudflare timed out contacting the origin server.
523 Origin Is Unreachable: Cloudflare could not reach the origin server; for example, if the DNS records for the origin server are incorrect or missing.
524 A Timeout Occurred: Cloudflare was able to complete a TCP connection to the origin server, but did not receive a timely HTTP response.
525 SSL Handshake Failed: Cloudflare could not negotiate a SSL/TLS handshake with the origin server.
526 Invalid SSL Certificate: Cloudflare could not validate the SSL certificate on the origin web server. Also used by Cloud Foundry’s gorouter.
527 Railgun Error: Error 527 indicates an interrupted connection between Cloudflare and the origin server’s Railgun server.^[52]
530: Error 530 is returned along with a 1xxx error.^[53]

AWS Elastic Load Balancer

Amazon’s Elastic Load Balancing adds a few custom return codes

460: Client closed the connection with the load balancer before the idle timeout period elapsed. Typically when client timeout is sooner than the Elastic Load Balancer’s timeout.^[54]
463: The load balancer received an X-Forwarded-For request header with more than 30 IP addresses.^[54]
561 Unauthorized: An error around authentication returned by a server registered with a load balancer. You configured a listener rule to authenticate users, but the identity provider (IdP) returned an error code when authenticating the user.^[55]

Caching warning codes (obsoleted)

The following caching related warning codes were specified under RFC 7234. Unlike the other status codes above, these were not sent as the response status in the HTTP protocol, but as part of the «Warning» HTTP header.^[56]^[57]

Since this «Warning» header is often neither sent by servers nor acknowledged by clients, this header and its codes were obsoleted by the HTTP Working Group in 2022 with RFC 9111.^[58]

110 Response is Stale: The response provided by a cache is stale (the content’s age exceeds a maximum age set by a Cache-Control header or heuristically chosen lifetime).
111 Revalidation Failed: The cache was unable to validate the response, due to an inability to reach the origin server.
112 Disconnected Operation: The cache is intentionally disconnected from the rest of the network.
113 Heuristic Expiration: The cache heuristically chose a freshness lifetime greater than 24 hours and the response’s age is greater than 24 hours.
199 Miscellaneous Warning: Arbitrary, non-specific warning. The warning text may be logged or presented to the user.
214 Transformation Applied: Added by a proxy if it applies any transformation to the representation, such as changing the content encoding, media type or the like.
299 Miscellaneous Persistent Warning: Same as 199, but indicating a persistent warning.

You might be doing a PUT call for GET operation
Please check once

In above code variable «ver» is assign to null, print «ver» before returning and see the value. As this «ver» having null service is send status as «204 No Content».

And about status code «405 — Method Not Allowed» will get this status code when rest controller or service only supporting GET method but from client side your trying with POST with valid uri request, during such scenario get status as «405 — Method Not Allowed»

I also had this problem and was able to solve it by enabling CORS support on the server. In my case it was an Azure server and it was easy: Enable CORS on Azure

So check for your server how it works and enable CORS. I didn’t even need a browser plugin or proxy

I had the same issue. In my case the Url had portions of it missing
For example :

http://localhost:8080/root/path/action

Instead I had something like

http://localhost:8080/root/action

Take away is check if the URL is correct. In my case I corrected my URL and the issue was resolved.

When I got 405 when making a rest call, I did all research and none worked for me. Finally I realized I did not put the right version of code in tomcat. Once the code with the method is in place, the rest call worked. Just want to put here FYI.
Please check your version of code first!!!!

If someone comes across an error page on your site, there’s a good chance they’ll get annoyed and leave. This can result in plenty of lost engagement and sales. One particularly common error to be aware of is the “405 Method Not Allowed” message.

This error can be tricky to navigate, as it indicates that something has gone wrong without telling you why it occurred. Fortunately, with a little effort and patience, you can be back up and running before long.

In this post, we’ll explain what a 405 error is and show you the different ways it can appear. We’ll then talk you through some of the ways you can fix this error on your WordPress site. Let’s get to it!

What Is the 405 Method Not Allowed Error?

When you manage a website, it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll run into some kind of common issue eventually. Websites go down, links break, and pages load a little too slowly. Although these occurrences are common, leaving them unattended is likely to result in a poor user experience.

Unfortunately, some problems are more difficult to fix than others. Consider the 405 Method Not Allowed error message, for example. This is an HTTP response status indicating that a web browser has requested access to one of your site’s pages.

In this scenario, your web server has received and recognized the request, but has rejected the specific HTTP method it’s using. In practical terms, this means that the browser can’t access the page it requested. Your site’s visitors will see an error page, rather than the content they were looking for:

Google Chrome

405 Not Allowed Error Nginx in Chrome

Safari

405 Not Allowed Error Nginx in Safari

Firefox

405 Not Allowed Error Nginx in Firefox

Microsoft Edge

405 Not Allowed Error Nginx in Microsoft Edge

The 405 Method Not Allowed error shouldn’t be confused with the 404 Not Found error. A 404 tells you that the requested URL couldn’t be found or that it was entered incorrectly. A 405 error message, on the other hand, confirms that the requested page does exist (and the URL was input correctly), but an unacceptable HTTP method was used to make the initial request.

405 Method Not Allowed (Short Definition):

The 405 Method Not Allowed error occurs when the web server is configured in a way that does not allow you to perform a specific action for a particular URL. It’s an HTTP response status code that indicates that the request method is known by the server but is not supported by the target resource.

Check Out Our Video Guide to the 405 Method Not Allowed Error

Variations on the 405 Method Not Allowed Error

Although the 405 error message most commonly appears in the form we showed above, various web servers, operating systems, and browsers can present it in numerous ways. The actual cause of the issue is also likely to differ slightly from server to server, which can affect the way the error appears.

Here are just a few of the many different variations you might run across:

405 Not Allowed
Method Not Allowed
HTTP 405 Error
HTTP Error 405 – Method Not Allowed
HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed

Regardless of how they appear, the trouble with 405 errors is that they can be difficult to solve. This is because they let you know that something has gone wrong, but they don’t tell you what the cause of the problem is. In most cases, it’s up to you to find the root cause and repair it if possible.

Are you getting the 405 Method Not Allowed Error with your #WordPress site? Here are 7 ideas to easily fix it! 💡Click to Tweet

How to fix the 405 Method Not Allowed Error on Your WordPress Site (7 Possible Solutions)?

Before we start discussing the possible solutions, you’ll want to create a backup of your site. This will give you something to fall back on if you make a mistake. Many web hosting providers include regular site backups as a part of their plans. If you have a hosting plan here at Kinsta, creating a backup is simple.

Once that’s out of the way, it’s time to begin the troubleshooting process. The methods we’ve outlined below are organized from most likely to fix the problem to least likely, so start from the top and work your way down to achieve the best results.

Without further ado, let’s get started with one of the easier steps on our list.

1. Check to See If You’ve Input the Correct URL

It may sound a little too simple but the most common cause of a 405 Method Not Allowed error is entering the wrong URL. Most web servers are tightly secured and designed to disallow access to improper URLs to prevent users from visiting the wrong pages (or trying to access pages that don’t exist).

Before going any further, therefore, double-check to ensure that you’ve entered the URL of the site you wish to visit correctly. It’s easier than you might think to make mistakes – such as forgetting a letter or misspelling a word. You may also find that simply refreshing the page could prompt it to load correctly.

2. Roll Back Any Recent WordPress Updates

Updates are wonderful things. They typically bring a wealth of exciting new features and can help to fix any ongoing bugs and patch security holes. However, despite their good intentions, updates can occasionally cause some issues.

If you updated WordPress just before the 405 Method Not Allowed error message started to appear, the new code could be the root of the problem. This also applies to any extensions or themes you may have recently upgraded – although we’ll focus more on that aspect in the next section.

If you feel that an update might be at fault, it’s worth reverting back to the previous version of WordPress. As we’ve already touched on, make sure you have a full site backup ready before doing this – you don’t want to make any irreversible changes.

While you can do this manually, the easiest way to roll back WordPress updates is to use a plugin. There are many available options, although WP Downgrade is particularly effective. This plugin will largely automate the process, meaning that you’re less likely to make mistakes.

Having a tool like this in your arsenal also means that you can prevent similar issues from happening in the future. Of course, if rolling back the latest update doesn’t fix the problem, remember to re-update your site or restore your backup.

3. Uninstall New Plugins and Themes

Plugins are an essential part of any WordPress website. They enable you to add a wealth of new features, and can even automate more complex processes. Themes are equally as important. Without them, you’d need a lot of complex coding (or an expensive developer) to create an aesthetically-pleasing site.

Unfortunately, just as with software updates, these extensions can sometimes create problems. This is because adding functionality to your site on any level completely changes the way it operates. There may be an issue with the plugin or theme you’re using, or a specific extension might conflict with another part of your site (or even your WordPress version).

As a result, you may find that uninstalling certain plugins or themes could help to fix the 405 Method Not Allowed error. To begin this process, you’ll need to navigate to the Plugins section of your WordPress dashboard. On this page, you should be able to see a complete list of all the plugins you have installed:

Plugins page in WordPress

From here, you can begin to uninstall your plugins one at a time. After uninstalling each one, check your website to see if the error has been resolved. This process may take some time to complete, but it will enable you to pinpoint exactly which plugin is causing the problem (if any of them are at fault):

How to deactivate a WordPress plugin

Once you’ve checked over your plugins, you can repeat this process with your active theme. If your theme or one of your plugins turns out to be the issue, you’ll want to either contact the developers, remove the plugin or theme, or look for a replacement. Here’s our guide on how to install a new WordPress theme.

4. Check for Any Unexpected Database Changes

Although the above step should resolve any plugin- or theme-related issues, it doesn’t guarantee that all changes made by your extensions have been fully reverted. This is especially true for many WordPress plugins. They are often given complete access to your database as soon as you hit Install, meaning that their changes go deeper than you might initially think.

Unless the developer explicitly codes against it, a plugin may be able to modify database records that don’t “belong” to it but are instead managed by WordPress itself. In this scenario, the plugin may not know how to revert those alterations to database records, so it will ignore them during the uninstallation process.

Diagnosing this particular problem can be difficult, but if you still suspect that a plugin or theme is the cause of the 405 Method Not Allowed error, checking your database directly is your best course of action. To do that, you’ll need to open your site’s database, and manually look through the tables and records modified by the extension. If you’re not sure what to look for, getting in touch with your developer is a smart idea at this point (as well as for the remaining steps on this list).

5. Confirm Your Server’s Configuration

Your website likely runs on a server that uses one of the two most popular server software options – Apache or Nginx. In fact, together they power 84% of the world’s web servers. Checking your web server software’s configuration files for any unintentional handling instructions may help to determine the root cause of the 405 Method Not Allowed error.

To determine which application your web server is using, you’ll want to look out for a key file. For example, if your web server is running Apache, you should be able to find an .htaccess file within the root directory of your website’s file system.

When your application is on a shared host, you’ll likely have a username associated with your particular account. If that’s the case, the application root directory can typically be found by following this path:

/home/public_html/

Therefore, the .htaccess file would be found at:

/home/public_html/.htaccess

Once you’ve located the .htaccess file, open it up in a text editor and look for lines that use Rewrite directives. These are part of the mod_rewrite module in Apache and define a text-based pattern that will be matched against all entered URLs. If a matching URL is requested by a visitor to your site, the RewriteRule will redirect the visitor appropriately.

To better demonstrate this, here is a simple RewriteRule that matches all incoming requests to https://kinsta.com and responds with a 405 Method Not Allowed error code:

Example of the RewriteRule

As you can probably see, there’s a flag at the end of the rule marked R=405. This explicitly states that the response code should be 405, indicating to the user that the resource exists, but the provided HTTP method was not allowed. If you find any strange Rewrite directives in the .htaccess file that contain a similar instruction, try temporarily commenting them out using the # character prefix. You can then restart your web server, to see if your change has resolved the issue.

Remember, if you’re a client at Kinsta, we use Nginx servers, not Apache. You can reach out to our support team if you think something might be wrong with your Nginx config.

6. Look Through the Server-Side Logs

Nearly every web application keeps some kind of server-side logs. Application logs usually comprise the complete history of everything the software has done – from the pages it’s requested, to the database results it provides.

Server logs are slightly different, as they’re related to the actual hardware that runs the application. They will often provide details about the health and status of all connected services, or even just the server itself.

To find your WordPress server logs, you’ll want to connect to your site via Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). In the root directory, you will see a folder called logs. Within this folder are your access logs, and your WordPress error logs. They should look a little something like this:

Access.log
Error.log

From there, you can begin to follow a similar process to that outlined in the previous step. Look through the logs and take note of anything that looks out of place (or ask your developer to do so). You can also refer to the codex for additional debugging information in WordPress.

7. Debug Your Application Code or Scripts

If none of the previous steps have done the trick, it may be a sign that there’s an issue with some custom code in your WordPress installation. The only way of determining whether this is the cause of the 405 Method Not Allowed error is to debug it.

Ideally, you’ll want to make a copy of the entire installation to an online or local development area – such as a staging site. From there, you can begin to conduct a step-by-step debugging process, which will vary depending on your site and its attached software.

Unfortunately, there’s no quick fix here. You’ll have to be prepared to put in the time to comb each section of your site for anything that looks out of place. Remember, however, that a fully-operational site is worth the hassle.

What to Do if None of These Solutions Work

If you’re still reading, it probably means that the solutions we’ve outlined above still haven’t fixed the 405 Method Not Allowed error. This is usually an indication that a more complex issue has occurred, and is unlikely to be something you can fix personally unless you’re a seasoned developer.

In this scenario, the best thing you can do is often to contact your hosting provider directly. You should have access to 24/7 customer support through a live chat or ticketing service. You may also be able to reach out to your host via email or phone, although opting for live chat is likely to offer a faster solution.

It’s important to resolve the issue quickly when this happens, to keep visitors interested in your site. Fortunately, although the 405 Method Not Allowed error can be confusing, it’s often possible to fix it with a little troubleshooting.
