It may be that the user identified by the server when accessing via the web (http) does not have permissions to access that particular folder/directory, even though you may have modified the directory permissions yourself... OR the user underwhich PHP runs (as it must load on the system as a particular user-owned process) does not have appropriate permissions. This sounds like more of an issue for your ISP than for the php-windows list - also the folks on the unix list might be able to give you more help in this regard.
