How to enable and use HTTP PUT and DELETE with Apache2 and PHP?
- by Andreas Jansson
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
