Do you have GD Library installed on the server?
Mark
Mark May 16 '12
Along with GD you also need TTfonts (at least my captcha would not work without it)
Faeez
Faeez May 16 '12
yup, GD with TTFonts are installed on the server.
Mark
Mark May 16 '12

This looks like an access_log, what about the error_log?
Mark
Mark May 17 '12
if you have cPanel there should be a section labelled error log, sometimes they get created inside your public_html folder too
Faeez
Faeez May 17 '12
error on the error logs is not related to this site. any other files you like me to check ?
Mark
Mark May 18 '12
you may have to look deeper into the log, the error logs should relate to that site, without these its hard to pinpoint what is stopping the images from showing.


just curious does the captcha work when private messaging users? or does it show up the same?

Faeez
Faeez May 22 '12
I don't see any captcha for private messaging users.


May I know which captcha plugin that oxwall using. I guess I have to some test on the captcha itself to find out the problem.


thanks

Mark
Mark May 23 '12
usually if you send 2 or more private messages in quick succession you are promoted to enter captcha


the captcha library is located in ow_libraries/securimage/

you should also check that that folder contains a file called AHGBold.ttf, this is the font used to output the characters.

Afham, which issue? There were multiple issues discussed in this topic. Do you have problems with captcha? What about GD library and TTfonts? Are they installed on your server?
