Unable to view Captcha image

When I load my contact us page the captcha image is not viewable. I ran the Google Chrome debugger and received these 3 error messages:

WAVT_CaptchaSecurityImages.php:-1 Resource interpreted as image but transferred with MIME type text/html.

a%3EFailed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

contactUs.php:124Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function
(anonymous function)contactUs.php:124)

You can find the page at: contactUs.php

I've redirected the WA_ValidationToolkit/ to match the folder in my folders list but it still doesn't want to see the image.

Any help will be appreciated.

it looks like the Fonts Folder is missing on the server, when i try to go to:
MODERNA.TTF


to load the font file, i get a 404 page not found error.

Unable to view captcha image

I just checked the server and the fonts folder is there. Just to make sure, I uploaded the folder again. I'm still not seeing the images. I just ran another debugger program and it came back with this message:

Linked script not loaded

Uncaught exception: TypeError: 'Spry.Widget.ValidationTextarea' is not a constructor

Error thrown at line 5, column 0 in contactUs.php:
var sprytextarea1 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextarea("sprytextarea1", {validateOn:["blur"]});

I'm using Opera's Dragonfly for this information.

Here's the thread log:

Not sure we're not able to process the images.

Thanks for your help. Please let me know.

Trying to access tyhe font folder:
Fonts/



gives a "Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /ContactForm_GMC/WA_ValidationToolkit/Fonts/ on this server."


you will need to edit the permissions on the font folder to allow for read access by all.

Unable to view captcha image

I contacted my service provider and it looks like it's rendering code but I'm unable to find it in DW. When you look at the live code, this is what it looks like:

MODERNA.TTF

However, when you take out the WA_Globals info it works. Like this:

MODERNA.TTF

The block of code that needs to be edited is:

"ContactForm_GMC/WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_CaptchaSecurityImages.php? noisecolor=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Noise; ?>&bgcolor=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_BG; ?>&textcolor=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Text; ?>&transparent=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_BG_transparent; ?>&characters=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Characters; ?>&width=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Width; ?>&height=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Height; ?>&font=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Font; ?>" alt="security code" /><br />

But I'm not sure which section to pull out in order to get the code to function correctly.

Please let me know.

it is still an issue with the permisions on the font directory.


you could change the code to:
"ContactForm_GMC/WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_CaptchaSecurityImages.php? noisecolor=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Noise; ?>&bgcolor=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_BG; ?>&textcolor=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Text; ?>&transparent=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_BG_transparent; ?>&characters=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Characters; ?>&width=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Width; ?>&height=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Height; ?>" alt="security code" /><br />

Basically just removing "&font=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Font; ?>"

which would bypass the use of the font.

That seemed to work. The captcha is now loading on the page. It may have been that the section that we took out was a duplicate piece of code.

Thanks for your help Jason!

No, the problem is the permissions on the font folder, it is not allowing read access by the script to load the font.

the section that was taken out tells the script what font to load.

by taking it out, it is using the default font.

it is a band aid fix, but it works.

the correct fix would be to leave the code as is, but change the permissions on the font folder to allow read access for all.

Uable to view Captcha image

I see. I'll have to go with the default for now and work on the premissions issue later. I site needs to be running by tomorrow. I'll need to take more time to go over what is blocking the code ie: my hosting provider or something in DW (I don't think it's DW because I haven't placed and blocking on any of the folders)

Thanks again,
