Captcha not showing

I am on Joomla 1.5.3 with Choronforms 2.5 J1.5 RC3.1.

The anti-spam images are not showing up in the admin panel.
The forms works fine, except for the absence of the anti-spam which is a necessity for me.

No Gzip compression and my site is in English.

Changing content type to html got a "Component not found" error in verification.php.

Form can be found here

What's up?
Thx!

Hi EliseL,

Exactly what error did you get when you changed the content type?

Bob

A 404 on
http://www.beingintuitive.com/administrator/components/com_chronocontact/chrono_verification.php

[file]

Hi EliseL,

That url shouldn't have /administrator in it - the file is [root]/components/com_chronocontact/chrono_verification.php

If you open the file for editing what's on line 29? It should be either

header("Content-type: image/png");

or

header("Content-type: text/html");

Bob

Ooops, now I get a 500...But the file is there!

I changed line 29 to text/html but I guess I have bigger issues ...I am uninstalling/reinstalling.

Uninstalling/Reinstalling did not fix the problem.

Not sure if this is relevant, my web hosting control panel logs shows this error

[2008-05-07 13:11:07]: error: file is writable by others: (/home/beingint/public_html/components/com_chronocontact/chrono_verification.php)

Ah! I saw a weird error in my web hosting control panel log:
08-05-07 13:11:07]: error: file is writable by others: (/home/beingint/public_html/components/com_chronocontact/chrono_verification.php)
PS: What *should* the permissions be for there files?


So I changed the write permissions (ick, this is getting very hack-y).

Now I can see this error when I access the chrono_verificaton.php

Notice: Undefined index: imtype in /home/beingint/public_html/components/com_chronocontact/chrono_verification.php on line 33

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/beingint/public_html/components/com_chronocontact/chrono_verification.php:33) in /home/beingint/public_html/components/com_chronocontact/chrono_verification.php on line 101

[SOLVED]

Ok, so it was the file permission that prevented the component from displaying the image. It seems that having this file writable is a problem that you can only troubleshoot from your web server logs.

Could you explain what the minimum file permissions need to be for this to work?

Captcha Isn't showing here either and I'm sure it's just something stupid I'm doing:

When I look at the address "/components/com_chronocontact/chrono_verification.php?" the image is showing fine...

What did I miss I know it's something simple.

Thanks!

Hi rdbean,

The image source is shown as .com.au whilst the site is at .org.au??

Bob

Like I said...

Something simple...that's what I get for typing instead of copy and paste!

Almost time for beer here, maybe I'd be more intelligent!

Thanks sorry to "Bug" Ya
