Request line problem

[Thunderstone]

Hi there,

Keep getting the following error when attempting to use search interface:

"405 Method Not Allowed

The method specified in the Request Line is not allowed for the resource
identified by the request. Please ensure that you have the proper MIME type
set up for the resource you are requesting."

Can't seem to make the necessary correction despite several reviews of
permissions and script code.

I am running NT4.0, IIS4.0, Sp3.

Real novice in the area of scripts, my apologies if it is so obvious. Any
help would be appreciated.

The search script uses the GET method, which is the most common HTTP
method. Most likely, either the directory you're using for CGI does
not have CGI enabled, or your server needs additional configuration to
allow the GET method on that dir.

Here are some general guidelines since the message did not include
the method that was used, or the URL you were trying to access. First
in your HTML where you have the form, you should make sure that the
method is either GET or POST. You should have texis.exe in a directory
with execute permission. With IIS it is typically something like
C:\InetPub\Scripts, and the URL might be:

http://server/scripts/texis.exe/webinator/search

or

http://server/scripts/texis.exe/webinator/newsearch
