Ajax POST error 405

Server NGINX
1

Ijust installed ngnix on my server. All rail applications works perfect,
but i have some static sites where i use AJAX for content replacement
and i get 405 Not allowed error.
Server config:
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.clean-tech.ro clean-tech.ro ;

access_log /srv/www/vhosts/clean-tech/www/log/nginx.log main;

location / {
  root /srv/www/vhosts/clean-tech/www;
  index  index.html index.htm;
}
#error_page  404              /404.html;

error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
  root   /srv/www/htdocs/;
}

}
I tried
error_page 405 = @405;
location = @405 {
root /srv/www/vhosts/clean-tech/www;
}
but after this workaround i get error 500

why aren’t you using GET requests instead of POST?

:slight_smile: I don’t use POST but prototype.js (new.Ajax)which i use for AJAX
uses.

my js

function _home() {
document.getElementById(‘content’).innerHTML = '

O clipă …
';
Element.hide(‘lnk2pct’);
!!! new Ajax.Updater(‘content’, ‘src/home.html’, {asynchronous:true,
evalScripts:true}); !!!
return false;

calls
prototype.js line 736

this.transport.send(this.options.method == ‘post’ ? body : null);

Do you know a workaround ?

Thx for reply

nginx as many servers does not support POSTing to static files.
However, it could changed.

Thx

then I’ll rewrite static sites in rails applications :frowning:

I am a stupid,lazy ignorant :slight_smile:

Ijust read on http://www.prototypejs.org , I can use method :‘get’

new Ajax.Updater(‘content’, ‘src/home.html’, { method: ‘get’,
asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true});

and everithing works fine

Sorry for your trouble

Thx
