401 error on iis when uploading files via PHP

Question

I have an upload script that runs on a windows webserver 2008. The uploads works nice, the file is created on the server. But when I try to access the uploaded image file via http, I just get an error 401. How can I resolve this?

EDIT: setting the chmod to 0777 after the file has been uploaded did not help, too.

Answer 1

For security reasons, many websites sequester uploaded files until they are validated, at which time they are made publicly accessible. If this is the cause, you'd have to ask the site's administration.
