Capthca: Failed to Load Image File

toad 13 Feb, 2014
Website does not display captcha, only the text box to enter in the code on a live server. After reviewing source code, there is an error of 'Falied to load image file'. If I take this same site and put it on a local server, I can see the captcha image files. The local server has a PHP version of 5.3, if that matters.

Hosting Server:
PHP Version 5.4.25
Database: 5.1.72-cll
Linux ip-50-63-27-239.ip.secureserver.net 2.6.18-028stab107.1 #1 SMP Wed Apr 17 19:10:55 MSD 2013 x86_64
Apache/2.2.26

Suggestions?

I'm not seeing anything different. The same error message in the code view, I have Error Reporting enabled and do not see any other messages. Still no captcha.

The instructions on the FAQ do say: "Then point your browser directly to that file". Any particular way to point my browser to chrono_verification.php?

Hi toad,

There's an example in the next line in the FAQ.

Error 403 Forbidden.

Hi toad,

OK - so that confirms that your server settings are blocking it. You either need to change the server settings or use one of the other anti-spam tools.

Recommendation? There are two forms on the same page and one form is already using ReCaptcha. Is there a way to use TWO Recaptchas on the same form? I've attempted to do this, but there seems to be a JS conflict.

Hi toad,

If I recall correctly the problem with ReCaptcha is that the first one grabs id='recaptcha' :-(

I'd try a HoneyPot trap on one (or both) of them and see if that works, it should catch most non-human spam OK. Then back up with server-side validation for whatever is still getting through.
