Thread: Security image ERROR - crappy hosting

Usually this is a file/folder permissions problem... check permissions on /tmp

Also make sure you upload your simg\images as binary...

If all that is OK... then you need to look further... is this your server? Do you have all the stuff for GD loaded, and if using ImageMagick (the required dependencies)?

Make a phpinfo.php file - check if GD is compiled into php, and if it is enabled.

Hey guys, I was facing the same "Error producing security image" error. I tried hard to figure out what could be the problem
I, first installed GD library. Checked if its working or not using phpinfo.php file. It was ok.
Still I didn't see the security code image rather just crappy error message with black ground.

Well, after installing GD library successfully I tried to check out settings in admin panel and I could see that in Settings --> Advanced Settings there was one option named " Use GD library for image processing" I checked the box, saved settings and refreshed join form. Voila, it started showing me security images...

Woooohoooo I was bugged off spending time for this. But now its running fine.

Thanks a lot to all for such a nice discussion.
