The following configuration is giving me 405 Not Allowed errors when I try to POST to any URI.

I'm guessing that it thinks the URLs are static, but I don't know why.

Example URI is /admin/clips/edit/63 - but I've tried posting to / with the same result.

Nothing is written to the error_log, even on "info" or "notice", though the 405 appears in access_log.

I've tried it with fastcgi_intercept_errors and recursive_error_pages both off, with the same result.

Any ideas on how to fix it would be very welcome. Thanks very much! Igor
