405 Method Not Allowed in Laravel - Route Fix
This error occurs when you try to access a route with an HTTP method that the route doesn't support.
The Error
405 Method Not Allowed
Common Causes
- 1 Submitting form with wrong method
- 2 Route defined as GET but accessed via POST
- 3 Missing method spoofing for PUT/PATCH/DELETE
- 4 AJAX request using wrong HTTP verb
Solutions
Match form method to route definition
// Route
Route::post('/posts', [PostController::class, 'store']);
// Form
<form method="POST" action="/posts">
Use method spoofing for PUT/PATCH/DELETE
<form method="POST" action="/posts/1">
@csrf
@method('PUT')
<!-- or -->
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="PUT">
</form>
Check your routes
php artisan route:list
