post method not allowed on file

[Anon]

Hello,

When I try to use:
<FORM name="form" ACTION="schrijf.php" METHOD=POST>

I get the message that POST method is not allowed on schrijf.php.

I have tried a lot but does anybody know how I can fix this?

Does the webserver know *.php is CGI and not static html?

can you execute scripts at all?

I am also having a problem with using the POST method. I get this error:
HTTP 500 - Internal server error

Here is my code:

<form method="post" action="default.php">
Enter something here:&nbsp;
<input name="author" type="text" />&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

and...

<?php
echo "You entered: " . $author;
?>

I've also tried this in place of $author:
HTTP_POST_VARS['author']

I am running PWS & NT4.0 Ser. Pack 6
Is this the same problem or something different?
Help!

Yes, I can run scripts

How can you check whether the webserver knows *.php is CGI and not static html?

I solved the problem yesterday, but i do not recall HOW! (I tried so often, i don't remember what the problem was)
What I do know is:
- Look in your php.ini (on linux). There must be a line containing:
file_uploads=On
- The *.php - File doesn't have to be in your /cgi-bin/ - Directory. When my *php - file was there, apache was ****TING 500-Errors. It seems to be possible, though.
- At last something real important: CHECK YOUR ERRORLOGS!! ERRORLOGS ARE YOUR FRIEND! HORRAY FOR ERRORLOGS!

Actually I found that it's the
register_globals = On
or Off setting,

if you set register_globals to On, the post works, if not, it tells you that the post method is not allowed.
