Image address error due to DOCUMENT_ROOT

Post by MantaPro »

I have just upgraded to CMS1.2.3 with modules Guestbook 1.1.10 and Captcha 0.3.1

The problem is that the Captcha image is created OK in /tmp/cache/ but is not displayed. Doing a view source in the browsers shows that the problem is the relative URL of the link isn't correct



The error is this bit
src="/tmp/cache/

This is incorrect due to the leading slash. If it was removed. Then it would work. Traced the error back to
modules\Captcha\lib\hn_captcha\hn_captcha.class.x1.php

Problems seems to be line 301
return str_replace($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'],'',$this->tempfolder).$this->prefix.$public.".jpg";

This is trying to create a relative URL, subtracting FROM the front of the string $this->tempfolder the DOCUMENT_ROOT

My DOCUMENT_ROOT is correctly set up WITHOUT the trailing slash (see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/co ... cumentroot)

My temporary work-around to fix this is to replace line 301 with
return str_replace($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/','',$this->tempfolder).$this->prefix.$public.".jpg";

So that it does not return a leading slash

This code also apears in hn_captcha.class.php in the same folder

My environment is Xampp 1.6 that has Apache 2.2.4 PHP 5.2.1 & MySQL 5.0.37
phpmyinfo correctly displays DOCUMENT_ROOT, in my install as C:/xampplite/htdocs

I hope this helps

I am using CMSMS 1.4.1 with Guestbook 1.1.9 and Captcha 0.3.1.
Same error as you... but the fix you suggest works well!
Thank you.
