Sounds like you may have POST'ing disabled in your httpd.conf file.

Look for something like this:

Code:

<Limit POST>
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
</Limit>

Here is the relevant bit from the apache docs:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#limit

Hi thx for reply

edit:

i fixed it

How do I enable CGI execution in directories other than the ScriptAlias?
Apache recognizes all files in a directory named as a ScriptAlias as being eligible for execution rather than processing as normal documents. This applies regardless of the file name, so scripts in a ScriptAlias directory don't need to be named "*.cgi" or "*.pl" or whatever. In other words, all files in a ScriptAlias directory are scripts, as far as Apache is concerned.

To persuade Apache to execute scripts in other locations, such as in directories where normal documents may also live, you must tell it how to recognize them - and also that it's okay to execute them. For this, you need to use something like the AddHandler directive.

In an appropriate section of your server configuration files, add a line such as
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
The server will then recognize that all files in that location (and its logical descendants) that end in ".cgi" are script files, not documents.

Make sure that the directory location is covered by an Options declaration that includes the ExecCGI option.

i added this in my config and i seems 2 be executing it im getting a new error now
