admin login directs to HTTP 405

[jak]

Hi,

I have run my pixelpost site for almost 2 years without issue. However, recently when I try to login to pixelpost admin I get redirected to "The page cannot be displayed" ... "HTTP 405 - Resource not allowed" etc. Specifically, I am sent to ../admin/?x=login. This is regardless of the login being correct or not.

I have tried several browsers (IE6, IE7, FF1.5, FF2); clearing the cache; clearing all cookies; refreshing; different PCs etc - no luck. However, at some point last night, I managed to login, but am unsure of the sequence of steps that allowed this. No luck today though.

The closest I can find to my problem when searching the wiki/forums is this: http://wiki.pixelpost.org/index.php?title=I_cannot_login_into_admin_section% 2C_the_install-page_opens_instead
- except I get sent to the "405" page and not the "install-dialogue" as described in that wiki article.

So, is it likely that my ISP has made changes to my PHP/mySQL config (they say no)? Or is something else? Perhaps someone else has experienced this issue and had some success?

Thanks in advance,

:)

Try this for me.

When you're at your login page, make sure the url contains index.php at the end.

So,
http://www.angstrom.com.au/admin/index.php

and NOT

http://www.angstrom.com.au/admin/

Thanks dwilkinsjr,

Embarrassingly (for me), that works.

Which leads to the question, why does index.php work at the root level? (ie www.angstrom.com.au )?
