First, make sure the php page can run properly. If the php page can access the database, you should be fine.
405 errors tend to deal with POST errors.
The file type is not registered in the IIS script map settings (e.g. .html or .htm). IIS only allows HTTP requests of type to GET to unmapped files. HTTP requests of type POST, HEAD, and all others are responded to with a 405 resource not allowed error.
Add a script map for the extension. A script map associates a particular file type with a given script module. The web server runs the module on the given file and sends the output to the browser, instead of sending the file directly to the browser.
