xoops captcha

I have upgraded recently from 2.5.5 to 2.5.6. My registration process now states it requires recaptcha to be setup. Recommendations have been stated to just use the built in xoopscaptcha instead. I checked the \class\captcha\config.php and its set to text mode which is default. What else must be set to make this work since when I click on my registration page (register.php) it states "To use reCAPTCHA you must get an API key from https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/create". How do you force the site to use the xoopscaptcha that is built in? Something is still pointing to recaptcha.

Please help since I need to get my site back up and running this weekend.

There is something wrong with your installation.

As first, run a filecheck to make sure that you have all the correct files.

Once everything is correct, then run /upgrade (you'll need to copy it from XOOPS installation files), and then update of the system module.

Re: xoops captcha

I copied the checksum.php and checksum.md5 to the /docs folder and tried to run it but I get: 403 Forbidden Access to this resource on the server is denied! I have the files set to 777 for access too. What might be wrong here?

Update: ok it was a .htaccess issue. I renamed that temporarily and ran the checksum.php from the /docs folder. Its results stated everything missing? Why would that be when I copied everything up and and upgraded the appropriate modules thereafter. The site reflects version 2.5.6 also?

Please advise...

Re: xoops captcha

the checksum.php 5 and checksum.md5 must be placed in your document root directory and run from there.

On an installed system you WILL have some files show up as changed but this is to be expected since you are running it on files where some have been updated but these should be just a few. mainfiles.php and secure.php for sure. If I am not mistaken though it should be less than 10 files.

You should be able to run the checksum program as:

http://www.yoursite.com/checksum.php
(localhost/checksum.php or whatever your host name is.)

If you are running it from another location it will not work.

Re: xoops captcha

I have loaded it to my root folder and run the checksum.php. All files come up invalid or missing?

Some of the files will be missing (e.g. all files from the /install folder), if the folder has been deleted or renamed after installation.

The question is - which ones are listed as wrong? You don't have to post all the files here, but at least post the directories, they are missing from?

Another question - do you use the Profile module that came with XOOPS, or are you using something else?

Re: xoops captcha

They all came up invalid or the majority as missing as I stated. I just ended up reverting back to 2.5.5 and back to all working just fine again. I am going to just stick with whats working since I cant afford this much downtime.

Thanks anyhow....

If all of them are missing/wrong, then something went wrong with the upload and you should do it again, but this time making sure that all the files are uploaded correctly.

Download again the XOOPS 2.5.6 and upload the files.

We have close to 10,000 downloads and it seems that you're the very first who these issues, so obviously something went wrong with your uploads.

I strongly recommend to update the XOOPS to 2.5.6 version, because of we've fixed some security issues, and most importantly, XOOPS has been updated to be compatible with PHP 5.4.

As soon as your host switches the PHP version to PHP 5.4, you'll have issues with XOOPS 2.5.5. Please remember that PHP 5.3 has officially reached end of its life, so it is expected that more and more hosts will switch to PHP 5.4

Re: xoops captcha

I know the files uploaded for me fine since the modules needed updating and it reflected the correct version. All was fine except the register.php piece wouldnt work with recaptcha or xoops captcha for some reason. I cant afford to be down for several days like this waiting for replies in the forum. I'll re-download this morning and quickly try, but if the same thing happens again, I will need to roll back immediately.

Update: The download URL that you gave me is the full version. Shouldnt I just use the xoops2.5.5-to-2.5.6.zip upgrade file to accomplish this task? Thats what I used before.

Re: xoops captcha

Per recommendation, I uploaded the xoops2.5.6.zip and performed and upgrade. It seemed the 2.5.4 to 2.5.5 upgrade was missing which it fixed and then I performed the 2.5.5 to 2.5.6 and all green. Updated necessary modules and I'm good to go with with xoops captcha working.

Aside from upgrade, is there a way you can modify the registration page to have a few required questions included besides the xoops captcha? For instance, we are a motorcycle group, a few questions I would pose on the site would be as follows ( I would only post 2):

Who makes the vmax motorcycle?

In what year did the GEN1 vmax start production?

How many vmax generations are there?

These questions would be enforced to proceed and the results would be emailed to the approving admin for final approval validation. Its just an extra level of human registration to assure no bots.

Thanks again...
