I have encountered a strange issue while building my ecommerce site. Everything seems to be working fine, except for the forms. When attempting to post content, I keep receiving a 405 method get not allowed error. It's confusing as I am trying to use the POST method, but why is it triggering a GET error? Interestingly, the POST method works on certain forms like checkout, but when I try to use the contact form and press send (axios.post('/api/v1/contacto/', data)), it throws the 405 error. Oddly, when running this e-commerce site on my local machine, everything functions smoothly.
Here is a snippet from my sites-available configuration:
upstream ecologic_app_server {
server unix:/webapps/ecologic/backend/venv/run/gunicorn.sock fail_timeout=0;
}
server {
listen 8000;
listen [::]:8000;
server_name myiphere;
client_max_body_size 40M;
// Other configurations omitted for brevity
}Looking at my urls.py file:
from django.urls import path, include
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('contacto/', views.contact_form_post),
path('reclamo/', views.complaints_form_post),
]Lastly, let me show you the code snippet for the contact form function:
@api_view(['POST'])
def contact_form_post(request):
if request.method == "POST":
serializer = ContactForm(data=request.data)
// Additional logic for validating form fields and sending email
return Response(serializer.data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
return Response(serializer.errors, status=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST)Any insights into what might be causing the GET error when using POST method? Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
