captcha and thumbs(back to index)I'm totally new to this. I installed folderblog yesterday afternoon and have ruun into two problems.
1. Thumbnails not created/displayed. I chmod-ed the "thumbs" directory to 777. No change. Suggestions?
2. Having a problem with CAPTCHA in the comments. Instead of displaying a CAPTCHA image it just displays the text "captcha". It looks like this comes from fb_captcha.php. Any edits I need to make?
TIA

1) did you give to appropriate rights also to fb.php?
2) show us an example of the website / the effect

Hi, I am also new and having trouble with CAPTCHA, seems like the CAPTCHA "image" was not found. I get the "alt" message and the red "x" in the place of the CAPTCHA image. I am using fb3.0, Apache2.0, php 4.4
Thanks

updatem here is the message if I open the fb_captcha.php directly
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreate() in C:\Apache20\Apache2\htdocs\fb_captcha.php on line 4
line4: $image = imagecreate(40,16);
is this Apache problem ?

Ikue,
Here's the URL: http://www.worldcycling.tv/photocontrib/index.php
You should be able to see what I'm talking about by looking at the archive or comments.
Thanks.

Ikue,
What would I do to give appropriate rights to fb.php?
Thanks,
Ben

Apparently, the problem was in my php installation.
GD library was not installed properly.

Yes, the imagecreate-function didnt seem to work because of a library problem.
Concerning appropriate rights, give a 777 to the fb.php.

GD library was not enabled by default at PHP installation, need to un-comment this line in php.ini
"extension=php_gd2.dll".
Its working now
