Hi,  
I have created a public repository sudhakarbathina/product-basic on docker hub

I am trying to push an image that I created on Rhel EC2 instance. It’s throwing below error.:

error parsing HTTP 405 response body: invalid character ‘\<’ looking for beginning of value: “\n405 Method Not Allowed\n

# Method Not Allowed
\n

The method POST is not allowed for the requested URL.

\n”

Any help to fix the issue is greatly appreciated. I am using below docker version:

@sudhakarbathina I was facing the same issue, I was trying to push the image to Docker Registry from an EC2 Instance but by default it was taking redhat registry instead of hub.docker registry, to resolve this issue I took the below steps:

1. Go to /etc/containers/registries.conf
2. Add/Replace ‘[registry.hub.docker.com](http://registry.hub.docker.com)’ for [registries.search] and [registries.insecure] section.
3. Restart your VM.
4. Execute docker login -u -p 
5. Execute the push command and it should work.

I followed your steps as follows but after making the changes to the Docker registry files, Docker services failed to start:

[registries.search] registries = [‘[registry.hub.docker.com](http://registry.hub.docker.com)’, 'xxxx.xx, 'xxxxxx.xxx., ‘xxx.xx’, ‘xxxx.xxx.xxx’]

[registries.insecure] registries = [[registry.hub.docker.com](http://registry.hub.docker.com)]

After making the above changes, I restarted my VM and the docker services failed to start, I am running Docker on a Red Hat EC2 instance and docker server & client version:m1.13.1.

Any clue, how i can finally push my image to dock hub?
