Hi Nant, Beat and the rest of the community.
I have read the entire thread and again must add my thanks to Nant for continually answering the same questions. Now, unfortunately, I must add my problem as well. I have recently moved moved my site from one server to another. Captcha worked gloriously on original server but does not work on the new server.
Various aspects of troubleshooting (eg replacing language files, uninstalling/reinstalling etc etc... pretty much everything mentioned on this thread) and have concluded it must be a server setting.
and YES GD2 is enabled with Freetype
OK here is the crucial info:
Joomla 1.1.3, CB 1.1, Captcha 1.0
From CB Configuration -> Images:
ImageMagick Auto-detected ImageMagick 6.3.5
NetPBM Not installed
GD1 library Not installed
GD2 library Auto-detected, bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
From PHPInfo:
PHP Version: 5.2.5
Apache/1.3.37 (Unix)
gd
GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
FreeType Version 2.1.9
GIF Read Support enabled
GIF Create Support enabled
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
XPM Support enabled
XBM Support enabled
OK, here's the killer blow:
I have another website, running from the same account on the same server, same version of J!,CB and Captcha and it works
I'm clean out of ideas now and would be very grateful for any guidance.
Most grateful as always,
Iain
