followed all steps in that article but no luck.


my site does have GD Library with FreeType support is enabled.

interestingly enough this link

http://folderpage.com/base/captcha
displays the captcha image but it does not display on join page. I also deactivated the plugins and custom html as directed

Please check whether you have captcha.php file in  the root of the software.

yup I do. I also checked to see if it was identical to the latest build and it is.

what i ended up doing was adding a rewrite exception for it in my htaccess file and now it works. but i shouldn't have to do that right?

Yes, you should not, but there's something wrong on server side. Because server does not see this file. It says 404 not found in the browser console, however the file is there

do you think apache or php profiles on my server may be causing the problem? I can't build profiles automatically so will need to contact their support at justhost again. Any suggestions?

I think something is wrong with the mod_rewrite, since you needed to add a condition to make capcha work. 

What do you mean you can't build profiles automatically?

my server is a VPS, so when i am in WHM panel there is an option to use EasyApache and configure which version of Apache and PHP you want to use by building profiles and then recompiling. Whenever I try to configure a profile or change a profile I get errors while recompiling. So I had to contact support for them to build a profile for me on my server to support Oxwall since I'm getting errors when I try to do it myself.

Any ideas?

If http://yoursite.com/captcha.php is not showing but http://yoursitename.com/base/captcha/ is working then you should check your root directory (via ftp/ssh etc) and see if captcha.php is there.
If the file is missing then download oxwall and upload captcha.php in your site root folder.
Otherwise you need to make sure that your .htaccess file (in root directory) looks like this:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

AddEncoding gzip .gz
AddEncoding gzip .gzip

ForceType text/javascript


ForceType text/css

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .*/http-bind
RewriteRule (.*) /http-bind [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/index\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_cron/run\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.xml|\.feed|robots\.txt|\.raw|/[^.]*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) index.php

Hope this helps.
