Even if you are using IIS or apache  in my guess you are using static html page as a landing page  and by default the web server doesn t allow POST or GET verb on  html page  facebook calls your page via POST GET verb  the solution would be to rename the page into  php or  aspx and you should be good to go

Try renaming the default file  In my case  a recent move to IIS7 5 gave the 405 error  I changed index aspx to default aspx and it worked immediately for me

In my case  IIS was fine but   uh   all the files in the folder except web config had been deleted  a manual deployment half-done on a test site

I ve been pulling my hair out over this one for a couple of hours also  fakeartist appears correct though - I changed the file extension from  htm to  php and I can now see my page in Facebook  It also works if you change the extension to  aspx - perhaps it just needs to be a server side extension  I ve not tried with  jsp

I fixed mine by adding these lines on my IIS webconfig    lt httpErrors gt       lt remove statusCode  405  subStatusCode  -1    gt       lt error statusCode  405  prefixLanguageFilePath    path   my-page htm  responseMode  ExecuteURL    gt   lt  httpErrors gt

It means litraly that  your trying to use the wrong http verb when accessing some http content  A lot of content on webservices you need to use a POST to consume  I suspect your trying to access the facebook API using the wrong http verb
