# upload.php not found

 * Hi,
    I just installed WP 3.0 beta2 on a Windows Web Server 2008 R2 (IIS 7.5).
   Everything works OK except for the fact that upload.php is accessible only from
   localhost. If I click on “Media” in the admin panel I get a file not found error.
   All other files work OK. Is it an IIS setting? Thanks Claudio

 * For what it’s worth, I’m seeing exactly the same thing and have a similar posting(
   just saw yours). One interesting thing: if you create a post and upload a file
   at the same time, it works. Thereafter, if you go to the media tab and try to
   upload something it works. It’s only that first use on a new blog.

 * I can’t even get a file to upload. I get 500 error.
 * maybe this’ll help somebody. [http://chakkaradeep.wordpress.com/2008/02/06/windows-server-2008-edition-feature-differences/](http://chakkaradeep.wordpress.com/2008/02/06/windows-server-2008-edition-feature-differences/)

 * If I click on the Media button in the sidebar menu of your admin panel I get 
   the same error – however, if I click on the drop-down first and then on “Add 
   New” – then it works.

 * You need to install the fastcgi patch for IIS7/7.5 or the work around. You can
   get it from iis.net

 * I installed the 3.0 v and I got similar problem. But I can’t upload any file.
   It says “has failed to upload due to an error
    Unable to create directory /blog/
   wp-content/uploads/2010/07. Is its “parent directory writable by the server?”
   or /blog/wp-admin/upload.php” The page cannot be found, but it’s there (ftp).
   And when I try to change the folder permission to 777 on wp-content it says 00‘
   SITE CHMOD 777 uploads’: command not understood. I don’t know what to do.

 * One you uploaded a file upload.php don’t throw this error. I think it is a bug
   reading the folder for images. SInce there are none, a 404 error is thrown.
