Every time "Testing..." image and nothing else... Is it good or bad?

No, no. This script doesn't do something else. It just test if your gd library and freetype are working ok. If the result is testing than everything is fine.

Did you contact the hosting support?

Give them the link to this thread. Give them error log output and ask them if they can find what is generating this error message: "Premature end of script headers: captcha.php, referer: "

I believe that there is the problem of file ownership. Captcha should be executed from the apache user and not from somebody else, but your support should know it better.

I sent a ticket to Aruba for solving that. I hope they'll have some good news... Thanks for your support, you got a lot of patience! ;)

IMPORTANT!!!

I found this message on a forum that calls the "support" from Siteground, a site that develops templates (my template is Siteground...)

/"[Thu Apr 19 01:47:39 2007] [client 127.0.0.76] Premature end of script headers: /home/user/public_html

Such error message could be invoked by several reasons:

-- the script requires more than the usual time to be processed and is being killed by our system. In order to ensure the proper behavior of the other hosted accounts we have set the TimeOut for our webserver to 10 secs.

-- there is an error within the programming code of the script in question. In this case it should be revised by a professional web developer who will be able to assist you further."/



May it is the solution, or the path to follow to get it?

this cannot be, since joomla comment is used on thousands of web sites and nobody found an error so far :)

about the first one. Well 10 secs must be more than enough. The file doesn't make something fancy - just ads a peace of text to the database and shows the image.

Ok, I'm walking in the dark... I had the same error trying to installate a forum... (I'm not talking about captcha, but "500 internal error...") Could be something about my php version? I read something else talking about php 5.1 (working properly) and mine, the 5.2 (that doesn't works).

Hey claudio!
I don't think that the mysql version has something to do with your problem, but if you can upgrade to php5 then do it. At least you can profit from the speed improvements. :)

Daniel now everything works!!! Just changed db to mysql 5.0 and fixed all the problems.
At this point some informations may be usefull to you and other users...

JoomComment doesn't works with:

php 4.X (need 5.X or next);

mysql 4.X (the same, need to upgrade to 5.X and it mean a new db if you are host is Aruba);


Course use the last version of Joomla!, now is the 1.5.10


Thanks for your support Daniel!

Thanks for the feedback. Such thing is possible, since my dev. environment runs php 5 and mysql 5, but I really don't understand where could be the problem. We just delete and insert a row in the database in captcha.php
mysql_connect($host, $user, $password) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db);
query($dbprefix, "INSERT INTO jos_comment_captcha (insertdate, referenceid, hiddentext) VALUES (now(), '" . $referenceid . "', '" . $textstr . "')");
query($dbprefix, "DELETE FROM jos_comment_captcha WHERE insertdate < date_sub(now(), interval 1 day)");
 

Thank you again. I will write a warning message to the new users.

Hi guys,

I had this problem, but I fixed it when I set my permissions to:

components 755
com_comments 755
joscomments 755
captcha 775

I didn't change the captcha.php permissions anymore. Hope this helps.
