Captchas not visible ?!
Captchas not visible ?!
I'm using Serendipity 1.1 and I just activated the captchas in order to reduce spam.
Unfortunately, I cannot see any image when the html form is displayed.
In fact instead of the captcha, I can see a blanck rectangle but no caracters. Do I need to make a special setup here?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Dave,
Thank you for your reply.
In fact :
1. Captchas are enabled for all users
2. I was displaying the page on another PC
Under the comment form, I can see the text saying that I need to type the text displayed in the Captcha in the text field. Unfortunately, I cannot see the image.
Thanky for your help.
Joel.

Hi!
Your URL rewriting seems to be broken somehow. If I call this URL:
http://www.mrbup.com/plugin/captcha_ccb ... eea37b1f71
This should display a cpatcha, but instead it tries to 404 redirect to 'missing.html'.
Did you modify your .htaccess file somehow? Where does this 'missing.html' 404 come from? It's not from Serendipity. If you modify your .htaccess, you might need to turn URL Rewriting off in the serendipity configuration. Then the URL above would look like:
http://www.mrbup.com/index.php?/plugin/ ... eea37b1f71
Which properly displays the captcha.

Garvin

Hi!
What does your .htaccess file look like? Somewhere your server generates a redirect to "missing.html". Serendipity itself doesn't do this!
You can solve thisby entering your s9y configuration and setting the option "URL Rewriting" to "None". You'll then have links prefixed with "index.php?/".BUT then you won't have the "pretty URLs", which basically seem to work with your server, but because of a problem unknown to me, the captcha one is redirecting to missing.html. This might be due to the .htaccess or because of some provider-changes on your server.
HTH,
Garvin

Hi!
There's no config option for increasing the characters in the captcha. But this shouldn't really be needed, it is hard to read enough already, right?
