captchas should be working again…
And I’m fairly certain I know what caused them to break…
About two weeks ago I opened a ticket with our web host to have them change a few file ownership permissions because EE creates some files as “nobody”, which cannot be changed by us. It even uploads images like that, so I wouldn’t be able to delete them in that case.
So, I asked the host to change the FILES’ ownership permissions. The dingbats ended up changing the files AND their parent folder’s permissions all at one time.
So I had my images folder’s perms incorrect and didn’t realize it. Even though I had the captcha’s folder chmod’d to the right perms, I guess the “image” folder also needed to be set that way. It wasn’t, so the images weren’t writing.
Then I screwed up the path name in the captcha config, too, in trying to figure out what was wrong.
So anyway, it’s all fixed now.
Please don’t hesitate to write to me (the link is over there on the right!) if something is broken, especially the comments, please! I don’t comment in my comments often, so if it’s broken, ya need to let me know so I can fix it. 😊
