CAPTCHA image missing on Manager page - broken link

Hi, I’ve read through the old thread here : http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,3861.0.html

But I’m getting this problem on 0.9.6, so I don’t think its the same thing. Nevertheless I tried the solutions mentioned (changing config.inc and veriword.php), but nothing changed.

My host assures me that GD 1.8+ (for jpeg support) and FreeType are installed and working fine.

I have uploaded this installation from another host, to a new subdirectory. So I’m thinking it’s a broken link, because the URI for the image is wrong.

If I can’t login to the manager to clear the cache, how can I get the captcha URI working properly?

Go to your database management page (probably phpMyAdmin somewhere in your site’s control panel), edit the site_settings table to set the captcha to 0 instead of 1. I forget the exact name of the field...
