A 405 error happens when your app sends a valid HTTP request (like GET, POST, PUT, or DELETE) but the server says, “not allowed for this endpoint.” Basically, the method’s right, but the place you’re using it isn’t.
Why it happens:
- You are using the wrong HTTP method for that route.
- Server configs (Apache/Nginx) are blocking it.
- The API doesn’t support that method.
- Your framework is missing a route handler.
- A firewall or permissions setup is in the way.
How to fix it:
- Double-check which methods the endpoint supports (use OPTIONS or check docs).
- Look at server configs and allow the needed methods.
- Update API routes or handlers if they’re missing.
- Review security filters or permissions if methods are being blocked.
- Check logs to see what the server rejected and why.
