HTML CODE : I have not posted the entire code here as not deviate from the issue I am facing. I am able to open the /admin page and when I give an input , getting an error "Method is not allowed for the requested URL"

<h2>welcome admin</h2>
<form action="." method ="POST">
    hello admin
    <input type = "text" name = "text">
    <input type = "submit" name ="my-form" value = "Send">
</form>

Answer 1

Change your html to this:

<h2>welcome admin</h2>
<form action="{{ url_for('admin_post') }}" method ="POST">
   <input type = "text" name = "text">
   <input type = "submit" name ="my-form" value = "Send">
</form>

What you're basically doing is sending the form to your admin function which only accepts GET requests.

You need to post your form to the admin_post function which accepts POST requests.
