Hello Friends

I want some help from you to solve my problem. I am not able to figure it out. Help will be appreciated.

I upload this script in paid hosting. I recently found that in my site Captcha Image not Working both in Contact Form and Top Friends Form. I CHMOD to different permissions but not working, i even try to change permissions of captchablock and all its file to 777 but still same problem. Then i upload this script to one of free hosting. Here cpatcha Image is showing.

Can some some suggest me to Which Folder and files are to be CHMOD and what will be permissions. I try 750,751,755,644,777.

If there is not in problem with CHMOD.Then it must be with hosting.Please tell me which script should be ON in hosting site, So that capatchablock work.I mean like perl,Java,Ruby on rail etc.

If someone exactly suggest me service should be ON in hosting account, then i will demand it from service provider.

Thanks

@Sunl.. this script uses a imagettfbbox() to create the captcha and if its not working for you, then the possible reasons are ..

1. Your host is using one old version of PHP or

2. GD Library is not installed on your hosting server..

your phpinfo() can tell more on this..

or you can explain your host the issue with following error details..

Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagettfbbox() in /home/bollywoo/public_html/modules/captchablock/CaptchaSecurityImages.php on line 60

Hope ur issue will be resolved soon. . :)

Thanks For reply shekar

Actually I already try this many time. I even completely remove capthablock folder from server and reupload. I try everything like clearing cookie,Cleared Cache many time but no use. I think this is problem due to my webhost. But i don't know what is the reqirements of this captcha block, so i can not demand anything from them.

Hello Guys

Does anybody know exactly which folders and files are related with captcha execution so i can try to change CHMOD.You kow this script has large no. of folders and files and it is very tedious to try change CHMOD of every file and folder.

My webhost has all up-to-date and this script has no bug related to capatcha. So the problem should be with CHMOD (permissions)

I think you need to give 777 permission to the all the modules folder and files..

but anyway have you told your webhost regarding the error message you are getting .. ??

Here is the link where u can see your error message

I am facing the exact problem with my site and i tried every possible solution suggested here ie:
1) changing CHMOD permission for captcha module and all module folders to 777
2) uninstalling and reinstalling the captcha module.
but all in vain so finally i did contact my webhost n they says everything is ok at their end.

below is what they replied to my support ticket

"GD is indeed compiled in and you're running a relatively recent version of PHP.

# php -v
PHP 5.2.13 (cgi) (built: Jul 3 2010 06:09:22)

We do not support third party scripts such as captcha's. If you need any recompile of PHP / Apache, we can do that for you. Please let us know if you need us to assist further with this."

i was just wondering is there any support available from the script author on this forum?

Sure, why not batu544 :)
well i made contact both with my host n the script author,
Adi told me that i am having the problem coz of a missing function from the php library : imagettfbbox()
(the one already mentioned by batu544 in this thread)
i searched the web for its solution n found one, its about how to recompile your server with TTF support on WHM, below is the link
http://www.itsolutionskb.com/2008/10/fatal-error-call-to-undefined-function-imagettfbbox

so i told my host to recompile the server for me with TTF (FreeType), they did it and told me to verify it if the problem still exist,
i checked it and the error was still there, then i gave them the link to the captcha page on my site n told them the problem
still exist after a few minutes they fixed it and replied with this solution

"The trouble was due to the wrong file permissions which was causing this issue.
File "/home/xxx/public_html/mysite.com/modules/captchablock/CaptchaSecurityImages.php" should be writable by group i-e: 755 (not 777)
and for the next time, please do ensure that you do not fix the permissions as 777 on the modules and the captcha folders.
I will recommend a permission of 755 to get this working."

which means the following folders and files should be

/modules (CHMOD permission 755)
/modules/captchablock (CHMOD permission 755)
/modules/captchablock/CaptchaSecurityImages.php (CHMOD permission 755)

and leave the rest of files on 777 in captchablock folder

Hope this will help someone in future
