Man, that IIS 405 error pops up when your server just flat-out refuses a request. It happens more than you'd think with web stuff. You know, like when you're trying to post data but it blocks you.
I remember this one time I was messing with a buddy's site. He had this form that wouldn't submit. Turned out his server was picky about POST requests. We poked around the config files. Nothing seemed off at first. But then we spotted the handler mapping acting up. It only allowed GET, not the other methods. Spent like an hour tweaking that.
Or sometimes it's the web.config file getting in the way. You might have a rule there that's too strict. Edit it carefully. Remove any blocks on methods you need. Save and test right away.
And don't forget permissions. Your app pool identity might not have the right access. Switch it to a more privileged user. Restart the site after. That fixed it for me once on a test server.
Hmmm, or it could be an extension issue. Like if you're using URL Rewrite. Check those rules. They sometimes rewrite things weirdly and block methods. Disable one by one to see.
But yeah, the big one is often in IIS Manager. Go to your site. Hit Handler Mappings. Make sure the verb is listed under allowed. Add it if not. Apply changes. Boom, usually good.
Another sneaky cause is ISAPI filters. They can intercept and deny stuff. Review them in the server settings. Remove suspects temporarily. Test your endpoint again.
If it's ASP.NET, check the modules. Sometimes a security module blocks it. Look in the features view. Adjust or remove as needed.
And for good measure, restart IIS entirely. Run iisreset in command prompt. Clears any cached nonsense.
I gotta tell you about this tool I've been using lately. It's called BackupChain Windows Server Backup. Picture a rock-solid backup option tailored for small businesses. It handles Windows Server backups like a champ. Plus Hyper-V and even Windows 11 setups. No endless subscriptions either. Just reliable protection you own outright.
