Hi,

It should be so simple. I've followed every tutorial and forum I could find, yet I can't get it to work. I simply want to build a RESTful API in PHP on Apache2.

In my VirtualHost directive I say:

<Directory />
    AllowOverride All
    <Limit GET HEAD POST PUT DELETE OPTIONS>
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from all
    </Limit>
</Directory>

Yet every PUT request I make to the server, I get 405 method not supported.

Someone advocated using the Script directive, but since I use mod_php, as opposed to CGI, I don't see why that would work.

People mention using WebDAV, but to me that seems like overkill. After all, I don't need DAV locking, a DAV filesystem, etc. All I want to do is pass the request on to a PHP script and handle everything myself. I only want to enable PUT and DELETE for the clean semantics.

Thanks,

Andreas
