Thread: security image

==> Dolphin 5.3 <==

I need a little bit of help with the security image. When I try to create test user via join form I am entering the correct letters and numbers exactly as it shows on the image, but still I get the "Error: Code from security images is incorrect" message; tried it hundeds of times with no success. Anybody knows what's the problem?

I have not installed as yet but will later and have a peek.

Wonder if we need a Dolphin 5.3 bugs thread? Hope not.

Are your requirements for the software ok, they did need a newer version of php i saw.

I have php 5, mysql 4.1 and everything is working perfect... and by the way v5.2's join form works ok

I'm facing the same problem described here, can someone help??? please.

Thanks in advance.

If you are planning to use ImageMagick - make sure GD is off in the admin panel - and use the http://www.youdomain.com/simg/simg.php URL to test your image.

The security image may not work for several reasons - is your header.inc.php paths to imagemagick utilities correct? - is imagemagick installed? - are the supporting applications (you can yum install ghostscript) installed? - maybe you need to edit the security image code for your particular installation images.inc.php?

Hi, I disabled GD, check the paths and everything else seems to be ok.

I get the security image with the code printed on it, but when I enter the code in the field I get an error message stating that the code is incorrect, although I'm writting exactly the same that the image is showing. By the way, I'm in a shared server.

hope to still be able to get help, thanks for your time, bye.

I was checking the error log and I found that:

- At the moment I go with my browser to join_form.php the server send the following message:

PHP Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/var/php_sessions) in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: Unknown(): open(/var/php_sessions/sess_a73ca2df313ba8afadd376a90b7725d7, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0

- When I enter the information in the join form and click Next>> to go to the security image page, the error log state these "additional" lines:

PHP Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/var/php_sessions) in Unknown on line 0

- Then at the security image page (the security image appears correctly) when I enter the image code correctly, check the "terms of use" box and click Next>>, these additional lines appear in the error log:

PHP Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/var/php_sessions) in Unknown on line 0

Now, if I disable the security images, the registration process works fine, but I would prefer to make security images to work correctly at my site.

Any ideas about what's the problem and any instructions about how to solve it please?? thanks in advance

Everything solved.

It seems that it was something at the server and not the script, for anybody facing this problem, in my case it was a path at the server that was wrong in some way and this was not letting php session to start (you can read my previous post here to see the error messages, pretty clear I think), so I contacted support there and they fixed the problem in about 30 minutes.

Thanks to anybody thinking about a solution to my problem, everything ok at this time, bye.
