laravel throwing MethodNotAllowedHttpException
RoutingLaravelLaravel 4Routing Problem Overview
I am trying to get something very basic running. I am used to CI and now learning Laravel 4, and their docs are not making it easy! Anyways, I am trying to create a login form and just make sure that data is posted successfully by printing it in the next form. I am getting this exception:
> Symfony \ Component \ HttpKernel \ Exception
> MethodNotAllowedHttpException
and my MemberController.php:
public function index()
{
if (Session::has('userToken'))
{
/*Retrieve data of user from DB using token & Load view*/
return View::make('members/profile');
}else{
return View::make('members/login');
}
}
public function validateCredentials()
{
if(Input::post())
{
$email = Input::post('email');
$password = Input::post('password');
return "Email: " . $email . " and Password: " . $password;
}else{
return View::make('members/login');
}
}
and routes has:
Route::get('/', function()
{
return View::make('hello');
});
Route::get('/members', 'MemberController@index');
Route::get('/validate', 'MemberController@validateCredentials');
and finally my view login.php has this form direction:
<?php echo Form::open(array('action' => 'MemberController@validateCredentials')); ?>
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Routing Solutions
Solution 1 - Routing
You are getting that error because you are posting to a GET
route.
I would split your routing for validate
into a separate GET
and POST
routes.
New Routes:
Route::post('validate', 'MemberController@validateCredentials');
Route::get('validate', function () {
return View::make('members/login');
});
Then your controller method could just be
public function validateCredentials()
{
$email = Input::post('email');
$password = Input::post('password');
return "Email: " . $email . " and Password: " . $password;
}
Solution 2 - Routing
My suspicion is the problem lies in your route definition.
You defined the route as a GET
request but the form is probably sending a POST
request. Change your route definition to match the form's request method.
Route::post('/validate', [MemberController::class, 'validateCredentials']);
It's generally better practice to use named routes (helps to scale if the controller method/class changes).
Route::post('/validate', [MemberController::class, 'validateCredentials'])
->name('member.validateCredentials');
In the view, use the validation route as the form's action.
<form action="{{ route('member.validateCredentials') }}" method="POST">
@csrf
...
</form>
Solution 3 - Routing
The problem is the you are using POST
but actually you have to perform PATCH
To fix this add
<input name="_method" type="hidden" value="PATCH">
Just after the Form::model
line
Solution 4 - Routing
That is because you are posting data through a get method.
Instead of
Route::get('/validate', 'MemberController@validateCredentials');
Try this
Route::post('/validate', 'MemberController@validateCredentials');
Solution 5 - Routing
I encountered this problem as well and the other answers here were helpful, but I am using a Route::resource
which takes care of GET
, POST
, and other requests.
In my case I left my route as is:
Route::resource('file', 'FilesController');
And simply modified my form to submit to the store
function in my FilesController
{{ Form::open(array('route' => 'file.store')) }}
This fixed the issue, and I thought it was worth pointing out as a separate answer since various other answers suggest adding a new POST
route. This is an option but it's not necessary.
Solution 6 - Routing
Typically MethodNotAllowedHttpException
happens when
> route method does not match.
Suppose you define POST
request route file, but you sending GET
request to the route.
Solution 7 - Routing
<?php echo Form::open(array('action' => 'MemberController@validateCredentials')); ?>
by default, Form::open()
assumes a POST
method.
you have GET
in your routes. change it to POST
in the corresponding route.
or if you want to use the GET
method, then add the method
param.
e.g.
Form::open(array('url' => 'foo/bar', 'method' => 'get'))
Solution 8 - Routing
In my case, I was sending a POST
request over HTTP
to a server where I had set up Nginx
to redirect all requests to port 80
to port 443
where I was serving the app over HTTPS
.
Making the request to the correct port directly fixed the problem. In my case, all I had to do is replace http://
in the request URL to https://
since I was using the default ports 80
and 443
respectively.
Solution 9 - Routing
I faced the error,
problem was FORM METHOD
{{ Form::open(array('url' => 'admin/doctor/edit/'.$doctor->doctor_id,'class'=>'form-horizontal form-bordered form-row-stripped','method' => 'PUT','files'=>true)) }}
It should be like this
{{ Form::open(array('url' => 'admin/doctor/edit/'.$doctor->doctor_id,'class'=>'form-horizontal form-bordered form-row-stripped','method' => 'POST','files'=>true)) }}
Solution 10 - Routing
Generally, there is a mistake in the HTTP verb used eg:
Calling PUT
route with POST
request
Solution 11 - Routing
My problem was not that my routes were set up incorrectly, but that I was referencing the wrong Form
method (which I had copied from a different form). I was doing...
{!! Form::model([ ... ]) !!}
(with no model specified). But I should have been using the regular open
method...
{!! Form::open([ ... ]) !!}
Because the first parameter to model
expect an actual model, it was not getting any of my options I was specifying. Hope this helps someone who knows their routes are correct, but something else is amiss.
Solution 12 - Routing
I also had the same error but had a different fix, in my XYZ.blade.php
I had:
{!! Form::open(array('ul' => 'services.store')) !!}
which gave me the error, - I still don't know why- but when I changed it to
{!! Form::open(array('route' => 'services.store')) !!}
It worked!
I thought it was worth sharing :)
Solution 13 - Routing
well when i had these problem i faced 2 code errors
{!! Form::model(['method' => 'POST','route' => ['message.store']]) !!}
i corrected it by doing this
{!! Form::open(['method' => 'POST','route' => 'message.store']) !!}
so just to expatiate i changed the form model
to open
and also the route where wrongly placed in square braces.
Solution 14 - Routing
Laravel sometimes does not support {!! Form::open(['url' => 'posts/store']) !!}
for security reasons. That's why the error has happened. You can solve this error by simply replacing the below code
{!! Form::open(array('route' => 'posts.store')) !!}
Error Code {!! Form::open(['url' => 'posts/store']) !!}
Correct Code {!! Form::open(array('route' => 'posts.store')) !!}
Solution 15 - Routing
In my case, it was because my form was sending to a route with a different middleware. So it blocked from sending information to this specific route.
Solution 16 - Routing
As answered here by rebduvid you can use Route::match as below
Route::match(['get', 'post'], 'results',[
'as' => 'results_path',
'uses' => 'SearchController@results' ]);
update the parameters as per your logic
Solution 17 - Routing
In my case, I was hitting an auth protected endpoint and my auth token was invalid. Getting a new token resolved the issue. This is a new older project I'm working on so there could be something in the implementation causing this.
Solution 18 - Routing
In my case, it worked to check the https protocol, I in postman had defined a route with http, when the server was with https. I just corrected it and it worked for me
Solution 19 - Routing
// not done
Route::post('`/posts/{id}`', 'PostsController@store')->name('posts.store');
return redirect('`/posts'`)->with('status','Post was created !');
// done
Route::post('`/posts`', 'PostsController@store')->name('posts.store');
return redirect('`/posts'`)->with('status','Post was created !');
