captcha broken

Vote 0 Votes

I have been running MT v4.1 on a shared server for the last 2 years without any problem until my host migrated servers a few weeks ago and changed the location of my site on their server. As a result, MY captcha IMAGE NO LONGER WORKS and shows up as a broken link. PLEASE HELP ME in re-enabling the captcha.

A sample entry where the captcha should work is at: http://www.jrgeoffrion.com/blog/lifestylecoreymike.html

The captcha image location from the entry above is at: http://www.jrgeoffrion.com/cgi-bin/MT/mt-comments.cgi/captcha/1/7J1Gzf5sljYe2sxws7LirvkCrXVkrNntI7bq6Wib -- which returns a broken link.

I suspect I have to change something in a configuration file somewhere, but I've tried almost everything and would appreciate any help -- I'm more than happy to provide you with any information you require to help me fix the captcha.

  • Your new server doesn't have the Image::Magick module installed, or it is not correctly installed.

    You should ask your hosting support to install this module for you.

    If you fail, get in touch and I could offer additional advice on migrating your stuff to another hosting provider.

  • i have the same problem.

    Who can help me?Thanks!

  • I'm reviving this tread... I was never able to find a solution... when I perform an MT-CHECK, Magick appears to be installed.

    The CAPTCHA image placeholder appears when the entry loads, but then it dissapears... Here is a page: http://www.jrgeoffrion.com/blog/lifestylecoreymike.html.

    My MT-CONFIG.CGI file contains the following line: CaptchaSourceImageBase /services/webpages/j/r/jrgeoffrion.com/public/MT/images/captcha-source in case it helps in diagnozing the issue.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
