Missing Captcha fonts folder - cant login - Newscoop Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

Marley Cole

Hope someone can help
I have missing text in my login Captcha.
The folder /var/lib/newscoop/include/captcha/fonts was missing which I've now added but it hasn't fixed the problem. Apart from adding this missing fonts folder what else do I need to do?
Here are the lines in the error log:

[Wed Sep 24 11:54:21 2014] [error] [client 193.62.165.211] PHP Warning:  imageftbbox(): Could not find/open font in /var/lib/newscoop/include/captcha/php-captcha.inc.php on line 309, referer: http://broadcaster.brighton.ac.uk/admin

Hi Marley,

which version of Newscoop are you using?

try updating your Newscoop version to latest one: https://www.sourcefabric.org/en/newscoop/download/

or https://github.com/sourcefabric/Newscoop/releases/tag/4.2.4

Hi Rafal

I'm already on the latest version 4.2.4.

Would it be worth reinstalling it do you think? Any other suggestions?

Thank you

Well, all files related to CAPTCHA are in the package and if you were missing some files then something copied not properly I guess. I will install newscoop, the latest version and I will check it later.

I will let you know here.

Best,

Marley Cole

Hi Rafal
All fixed - many thanks for your help.
The problem was:

Howdy, Stranger!
