want to use captcha on a web signup form - copied (the site) from a modx installation that works fine. modx 0.9.6.1p2 in the new instance, captcha image does not display. click to refresh and the page locks up. after some troubleshooting i find that if i invoke the veriword.php file from the browser (see
http://www.lsicc.org/manager/includes/veriword.php) i never get a response and finally get an internal server error. on sites that i have captcha working, when i invoke the veriword.php file, i get the captcha image.
gd & freetype are both enabled. other installations of 0.9.6.1p2 on the same server work with no issues. two other installations on the same server do not - invoking veriword.php causes an error.
any thoughts on the problem or where i might troubleshoot? have re-installed the manager files thinking something got missed on the upload.
thanks, chas
