(partly SOLVED) Moving a website from one server to another

Post by RichardC »

Hello,

Let's start with some specs:
CMS version: 1.8.2
Modules: Guestbook, Captcha, Formbuilder, Gallery, and some others which work fine
Server from: A plesk server
Server to: A DirectAdmin server

I've been moving some CMSMS websites without any problems. There's one website which moves fine, except the pages which are using captcha display as if they don't have any stylesheet attached to them. These pages are using Guestbook, and another uses a form from Formbuilder. They also show this line:
No Truetypefont available for the CaptchaClass.

So I went to the backend, and to the captcha module. This game me a message saying:
Your GD library does not have JPG support (Troubleshooting). Unfortunately the troubleshooting points to a non-exsisting page. It doesn't appear to be the server, because there are websites using captcha 0.4 which work fine.

Captcha needs to be uninstalled/installed when moving site to a new server, as for any GD errors you need to contact your host...
