We recently switched servers from a Sparc clone with Solaris to FreeBSD on an AMD machine. After the switch when you try submit from a form you get "Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /mail/mail.pl. Apache/1.3.27 Server at thornton-properties.com Port 80". I'm not sure whether this is permissions problem or in the Apache config. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

zrefugee,

I suspect the page recieving the post does not have th correct permissions. If it's a cgi script that is handling the result then it should be chmod'ed to 755. Also, check wither your file is in the correct location, and that Apache is set up to execute cgi scripts for the directory that your script is in.
