[function.imagecreatefromjpeg]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 401 Access Denied in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/iv_stage_fritz/try.php on line 14

but i can access this image

Sounds like your server has mod_security enabled? Try adding this code to your .htaccess file. Remember, this is a random stab in the dark. Probably best if you could post a phpinfo.php file link so we can get some more details.

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

Oops, just saw it was localhost. Scratch the phpinfo link...
