login system via on localhost not working

Question

I have a login system built and it works fine. Then I copied the code to my main computer to use it on localhost. Apache server and MySQL server was done through XAMPP. The problem is that chrome shows HTTP 405 error: HTTP Method not allowed. When I click submit after entering the credentials.

HTML (only the form part with no CSS):

<body>
    <div class="login">
        <h1>Login</h1>
        <form action="authenticate.php" method="post">
            <label for="username">
                <i class="fas fa-user"></i>
            </label>
            <input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Username" id="username" required>
            <label for="password">
                <i class="fas fa-lock"></i>
            </label>
            <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" id="password" required>
            <input type="submit" value="Login">
        </form>
    </div>
</body>

Can someone please help me with this?

Actually the problem is not your code. Its actually your Webserver config. I advise you to validate you can reproduce the error with the MRE here before posting a query there with the appropriate code, error message, log entries, and webserver configuration details.

I hope this helps you.
