405 Method Not Allowed

[Fedorpheux]

I'm using this PHP poll script and incorporating it (ot at least trying to) into my MovableType-powered website. It seemed to be working fine and everything is displaying fine until recently I tried to vote and it gave me an error:

Method Not Allowed

The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /main/index.shtml.

i'm linking to the poll's PHP file from the index MovableType page using the following code:

<!--#include virtual="/poll/poll.php"-->

my only guesses as to what is wrong and how to fix it is maybe it has something to do with the fact that I changed the index page from .html to .shtml....or maybe i'm linking to the PHP script incorrectly...i'm not quite sure...all help is appreciated, thanks!

a htaccess issue? I don't think its anything to do with the name of that file...

Well if I just go to poll.php and vote, everything works. But I'm trying to put it right in the same page as my main MovableType page and when I vote from there, it doesnt work and gives the error.

any help guys? didnt think it would be that hard of a problem, but i obviously dont know...i'll keep trying stuff, but any help would be appreciated

Okay, fixed the problem...talked to the tech support of the people that host me and they figured it out for me...apparently it had something to do with the way the poll's php script called for the "POST" action and how the .shtml file tried to carry it out or something....i dunno, the point is it's fixed now. thanks anyways! :)
