Authentication Required

    Hi everyone, when i try to upload media files into wordpress, i am recieving an authentication required: the server at https://www requires username and password i enter my wordpress credentials and nothing happens. It seems the file does get uploaded, as i can “edit” the file, yet on the main media page i see a broken link? This pop up will occur for each file i attempt to upload, and if done in a batch of 5 ill get the login prompt 5 times in a row…. The funny thing is, sometimes i can upload other files without a prompt to login, and these files show a thumbnail no problem. I have a mix of media types png, gif, jpg and some of each work while others some of each dont.

    I have already checked permissions on my upload folder in IIS6 and i have admin, administrators, authenticated users, system and SERVER IUSR set to full control.

    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Thanks Dave. Looks i had everything 100% based on those docs…. but i kept looking…. i think i found the solution from this site here.

    Looks like it is a PHP issue, so when i followed that page there the proper permissions did inhehrit to the uploaded files correctly in addition to the net service and power users and when i tested so far so good ?? ill post back in a few days if i dont have any more problems ??
    thanks

    No issues, hope you can get this resolved.

    Let me know!

    I have similar problem that every time I try to log in, I get an authentication required Captch intercept.

    Your issue is likely different than the OP’s problem, I’d recommend creating a new thread and asking for help explaining there.
