Captcha problem

Post by rockarena »

The problem is that it's not generating Captcha images. When I look in the backend it says that there are 3 images already there but on the frontend it's not displaying anything. What might cause this?

Do you set write permission for cache folder inside module?

No I didn't. I left work today asking myself the same question so I'll check in a minute.

Edit: so I probably didn't. Can I adjust that from within the module or do I have to set permissions manually on my webserver?

Modified permissions on my server but it's not doing anything.

I looked into my page's source and found this:

Code: Select all

<div class="captcha"><input type="hidden" name="public_key" value="45988">
<img class="captchapict" src="/modules/Captcha/images/captchas/hn_captcha_45988.jpg" width="198" height="72" alt="This is a captcha-picture. It is used to prevent mass-access by robots. (see: www.captcha.net)" title="">
Please confirm that you are not a script by entering the letters from the image.<br /><input type="text" name="m5captcha_phrase" id="m5captcha_phrase" value="" size="10" maxlength="255" />
</div>
So it's putting the image there but for one reason or another I can't see it.

Cache folder needs permission 777. Have you set it?

How have you installed Captcha module (FTP, XML file)?

XML File. And I set the permissions to 777 but no luck. When I look at one of the generated JPG's they are empty. So the module is doing something but not the right thing.

Hmm, can you try to install captcha module via ftp once again (after deinstalling/deleting)?

Maybe there are some problems with server permissions ...
