iis7.5
I have setup a website in IIS 7.5 on a Windows 2008 machine. The website is sitting on C:/websites/
Then I added a virtual directory called "/uploads" that points to "d:/websites/uploads". This directory holds all the images/media.
When I browse the website in browser, I dont see any images etc. When I browse an image directly I notice that it's throwing a 401 error.
401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
I have searched Google quite a lot and I am pretty sure I am have all the permissions setup correctly.
Can anyone tell me what I could be doing wrong here?
