Captcha in OCS 2.3.6.0

[iacocs]

Hi,

I configured Captcha in my config.inc.php as follow :

captcha = on
; Whether or not to use Captcha on user registration / account creation
captcha_on_register = on
; Whether or not to use Captcha on user comments
captcha_on_comments = on
; Font location for font to use in Captcha images
font_location = /usr/local/share/fonts/freefont/FreeSerif.ttf

I followed the instructions of :

[HOW] OCS : enable captcha

This topic is just sharing. I just setup OCS on my ubuntu server. By default the system does not enable captcha on user registration process. Enable this captcha should prevent auto registration by spam/bootware. Step by step : install required modules sudo apt-get install php5-gd fontconfig edit configuration file sudo nano ~./ocs/config.inc.php [captcha] edit font source location from font_location = /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSerif.ttf to font_location = /usr/share/font…

but I don’t have the Captcha in my form. Should I configure some other file ?

Thank you for your help.

Hi @iacocs:

What do you see?

→ Note that server has the font in directory, in negative case replace with a valid route
; Font location for font to use in Captcha images
font_location = /usr/local/share/fonts/freefont/FreeSerif.ttf

I set without problem with the same parameters that you have and it works.

Diego

Hi,

I don’t see the Validation field; how could I debug to see what happen ?

Thank You

Hi,

I resolved, so I report the solution; my operating system is OpenBSD 6.2 with Apache 2.4.27p0 and
php 5.6.31 versions. Is installed also the package php-gd-5.6.31 (image manipulation extensions for php5) containing the module :

/usr/local/lib/php-5.6/modules/gd.so

So I added the line :

extension=gd.so

in the file /etc/php-5.6.ini, then I stopped and restarted apache :

• apache2ctl stop
• apachectl2 start

Now I have the Validation field in both REGISTRATION and ACCOUNT forms.
