Hi everybody!

I am experiencing some problems with the Captcha-Plugin.

Some users report the effect, that the captcha is always rejected... no matter what they enter.

Here is an example from the logfile:

[2006-09-18 08:00:34] - [REJECTED: Captcha ungültig (Eingegeben: 42ZW3, Erwartet: )] - [#545, Name "nachbar", E-Mail "mail@xxxxxog.de", URL "", User-Agent "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; dcdev001; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)", IP 141.xxx.xxx.xxx] - [Microsoft verdient 15 Millarden $ mehr.]

I am running s9y 1.1 beta-1, but ihad the same problems with 1.0

Any ideas?

Cheers from Stuttgart!

Hi!

This sounds as if either the users do not have their cookies enabled and accepted, or that your PHP sessions do not work properly.

You can check if your PHP sessions work by logging out of your admin-panel, and then relogin withuot checking the "Remember login" feature. Then cruise around the admin interface, and if you occasionally get the "login box" it means your server doesn't activate the PHP sessions.

Auto-login will prevent this problem, but it's only a workaround and not a fix to the underlying problem.

Another problem could be that users use a different URL to read your blog than the address you configured. Like if they use http://www.domain.com instead of http://domain.com.

If you want to support this option of multiple host names, enable the "Autodetect HTTP host" option in s9y config.

HTH,

That was it!

Thx Garvin!
