The only suspect i have now, is that it could need a captcha plugin, but i read some code, and don`t looks like (and if needs, which one captcha plugin? anyone?)

looking into my com_comment/error_log i found that :
[11-Jul-2009 14:02:13] PHP Warning:  imagecreatefrompng(captcha/bg1.png): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/samir/public_html/components/com_comment/joscomment/captcha.php on line 29

Wow...
OK, so you do have Freetype and GD installed - that's what I was going to suggest :laugh: hmmm.... maybe permissions? Not too sure here... Captcha should just work without any extra configuration.

Daniel will need to take a look at this. :unsure:

Those php warning just mean that you don't have either the GD or freetype library on your server. You need them both to have joomlacomment working.

Please check again if your really have the GD and Freetype libraries.

Looking again in your warning messages:

[11-Jul-2009 14:02:13] PHP Warning: imagettfbbox(): Could not find/open font in /home/samir/public_html/components/com_comment/joscomment/captcha.php on line 50


What font are you using. What is the content of the captcha folder, are all files there or is something missing?

OK, as i said on the second post:

"i just saw that he bg1.png wasn't a valid archive, maybe the file(s) were corupted, i reinstalled that(joomlacomment)"

You can see for yourself my phpinfo:

samircury.eng.br/phpinfo.php

i changed too captcha.php to 755 (as i saw in other posts)

really, this isn't essential to me( so you don't have to put a priority / spend much time on this ), because it's working finer with gmail auth + joomlacomment without captcha, but just to other users that download joomlacomment and for some reason it doesn't works, the guy can be disappointed and give up.

Maybe the error is from my server, but i'm quite sure that i have GD and Freetype.

You can ignore the error logs i posted, because on the new installation they don't exists... Just on the "corrupted" one.

Thanks!

what do you mean with valid archive? bg1.png should be e background picture.

P.S. All user problems here have highest priority :) I don't like to have unresolved problems :)

Good thoughts man,

So, it wasn't a valid archive i mean that i tried to access it manually by a cat or something, and error, i tried to copy it and error, like the reference was there, but the data not, it was surely a file integrity error.

After that i downloaded another copy, and reinstalled, since then i had no errosr logs, but no captcha eighter.

I would suggest reinstalling JoomlaComment if you want to try and fix the Captcha still. If the background PNG graphic was corrupted during transfer/install, it's quite possible that other files are corrupted too.

So instead of picture you have the text - security image?

Right click on this text -> properties and copy the address of the text, paste it in your browser and look if it generates an internal server error.

And also your permissions for the captcha.php are wrong - it should be 644.

The captcha folder should be 755.

That's a very important one, good catch Daniel.

On my hosting provider, HostGator, they require that all PHP files be at 644 - otherwise it will generate a 500 Error on purpose because anything higher is apparently a security risk. I bet many other hosts do a similar thing as it's the default of PHPSuExec (which is getting installed ond more and more servers)
