405 - HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed. [IIS 8.5] [Windows Server 2012 R2]

Question

I have got a new iis server and from a while i am finding solution for error :

405 - HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed. The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) was used to attempt access.

I have seen below solutions:
1.

 <system.webServer>
    <modules>
        <remove name="WebDAVModule" />
    </modules>
    <handlers>
        <remove name="WebDAV" />
    </handlers>
</system.webServer>

2. IIS Settings http://www.somacon.com/p126.php

Solution 1, causes Internal server error and later unable to find the solution. Solution 2, i am unable to find Property window in iis 8.5, so unable to try the same.

Please help

Answer 1

I also had the same internal server error when attempting the first solution, described at HTTP 405 error with Web API. Since I wasn't even using WebDAV, I opted to remove it entirely from IIS (see screenshot below). After a required server restart, the problem was resolved.

Answer 2

This is late but may help some other guys. My application is WEB-API dotnet Core face same problem when deploy on local server resolve this by doing following steps.

<system.webServer>
      <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
        <remove name="WebDAVModule"/>
        <!-- add this -->
      </modules>
      <handlers>
                <remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_32bit" />
                <remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_64bit" />
                <remove name="TRACEVerbHandler" />
                <remove name="OPTIONSVerbHandler" />
                <remove name="WebDAV" />
                <remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" />
                <add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS" modules="AspNetCoreModuleV2" resourceType="Unspecified" />
                <add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*."  verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS"  type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="Script" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" responseBufferLimit="0" />
                <add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_64bit" path="*."  verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS"  modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="Script" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv4.0,bitness64" responseBufferLimit="0" />
                <add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_32bit" path="*."  verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS"  modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="Script" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv4.0,bitness32" responseBufferLimit="0" />
      </handlers>

Answer 3

One of my colleague helped me out. I was missing some of the major iis features.

Goto Add Roles and Features Wizard, then Web Server (IIS)> Web Server > Application Development > Select ASP.net 3.5 and Asp.net 4.5 and click Install.

Goto cmd prompt and iisreset.

For WCF service, Kindly check Http Activation under WCF Services.

Hope this may help you and save your time.
