[SOLVED] Captcha Picture not showing

Post by swanriver »

Hello,

I have installed CMSMS version 1.0.6, with FormBuilder version 0.3 and Captcha version 0.3. My problem is that the Captcha picture is not showing on the "Contact" form. I just get a message that says, "This is a captcha-picture. It is used to prevent mass access by robots. (see: www.captcha.net)". I checked the server, and GD library is supported, and have set permissions to 777 on modules/captcha/images/captcha.

To see example: http://www.pinebraestudio.com/index.php?page=contact

Thanks in advance for any help. I'm definitely at my wits end. I've implemented these modules before with no problems whatsoever. Guess its just my lucky day.  ;D

I saw this when I tried to put the URL for the image in the address bar...

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /modules/Captcha/images/captchas/hn_captcha_f232c.jpg on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.37 Server at pinebraestudio.com Port 80

You may have to change the permissions on /modules/Captcha/images/captchas folder...
And I believe there may be a temp cache folder for these, least I think there used to be, that has to have looser permissions...

if this is indeed the case then:
  a) I think the captcha module should be writing into /tmp
  b) we should revise all documents (they need to be resived that way anyways) that tmp, and everything below
      it should be 777

Thanks for your responses. First, I'm going to update to version 1.1.1, and go from there. Hopefully, it will all work out. I'll post a new message when finished.

Thanks again!
