Method Not Allowed (post)

[webhead]

I'm running a test web in my Sites folder, and everything is running (php, mysql) except that I can't use POST in any forms. I get the error message "405 method not allowed. The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL (my local host).

I read somewhere that it might have something to do with enabling CGI, but I don't know how to do that. I've also had some weird problems with the form pages sometimes coming up completely blank,as if there's no html code in them at all.

I figured out that the blank page problem happens if there is any error at all in the php code, but now there's another problem.

It seems there's a problem with the PASSWORD() function. It makes a code that's a gazillion characters long, all caps. No matter how big I make the field (varchar) it won't validate.
