Hi,

I had to have my server “reset” due to an injection attack (relating to a cpanel issue).  Everything seems to be working fine, with one exception: the captcha image is not being displayed.

I’m guessing it’s a (simple) server or php setting that needs to be changed, but I’m not sure.

Thanks.

Make sure you still have your directory set up correctly for your captchas.

Also make sure you have captchas turned on for where ever you are expecting to use it.

As always, thanks for the quick reply.

The settings are correct and the captcha file contains the correct content (at least the same as before the re-install).

Does it have to do with the GD library?  Saw this in the php manual: “PHP is not limited to creating just HTML output. It can also be used to create and manipulate image files in a variety of different image formats, including gif, png, jpg, wbmp, and xpm. Even more convenient, PHP can output image streams directly to a browser. You will need to compile PHP with the GD library of image functions for this to work. GD and PHP may also require other libraries, depending on which image formats you want to work with.”

Very possible.

That was it…host needed to recompile my PHP build with GD support.  Thanks!

Glad you’re all squared away.
