Check the "VERBS" setting for your extension mapping:

Go to the web site properties in IIS
Select the "home directory" tab
click on the "configuration" button (near the bottom)
Look at the two mappings for CF - .cfm and .cfc (you may have more). They
should be configured to either "ALL verbs", or GET,POST.

good luck.

Subject: How about Macromedia provide a more detailed configuration do
cument for CFMX?


I am at a client site that is a Microsoft Shop. I am developing a ColdFusion
using MX. I am coming across some issues with regards to posting forms. It
seems that when I use the "get" method, everything works fine but when I try
to use the "post" method it fails without error message. I outputed the
form's content on the action page and all thet it displays is the HTTP
header information. I created another test to see if it was a CF issue or
not so I scripted 3 HTML pages. 2 of the pages contain forms, one using get
the other with post. They both post to the third HTML page. The "get" page
worked and the "post" page raised a 405 error. I took the same three HTML
pages and ran them locally on my harddrive and they both worked fine. I have
uninstalled and reinstalled MX several times with the same results. This
leads me to believe that there is an issue with IIS.

Has anyone seen this before and can explain to me what the problem is? They
are convinced that it is ColdFusion configuration issue (since they prefer
to use ASP here) and I am trying to explain to them this is an IIS lockdown
issue. I am not an IIS expert but seems to me that is where the issue lies.
