Invalid HTTP verb on checkout

[dnesmith]

I am using the wp Estore with the manual checkout only and the manual checkout form builder add-on.

On my page that has the cart,

there is the code

<div class=”eStore_cart_checkout_button”>

<form action=”<homepage>?eStore_checkout=process&eStore_gateway=manual” method=”post”>

<input type=”hidden” name=”eStore_gateway” id=”eStore_gateway” value=”manual”>

<input type=”image” src=”<homepage>/wp-content/plugins/wp-cart-for-digital-

products/images/checkout_manual.png” name=”submit” class=”eStore_paypal_checkout_button” alt=”Checkout”>

</form>

</div>

when you click on the “proceed to checkout” button, you get a “405 – HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed.” error page.

Is this a server configuration issue?

Are you using a Microsoft Windows IIS server?

You are not using any firewall or security plugins are you? Some firewall plugins can block a request if certain query parameters are present in the request.

It is a good idea to do the following test to figure out if there is a particular plugin that is blocking the checkout request:

Thanks for the answers. It is indeed hosting under Windows (IIS7/ASP.NET 4.0/4.5). Since it’s shared hosting, I don’t have access to the full IIS configuration.

Testing with various changes to the site’s web.config in an attempt to turn on handling for POST was fruitless.

I finally just converted the site to Linux hosting and abandoned Windows.
