Security code missing

Hi, Aren't ya happy to see me?
I'm sure this is easily resolved, I'm just not finding the answer. So rather than have another melt down, or add it to my last thread, I thought I would post here & name appropriately just in case anyone else is searching for this answer.
I'm past all my other issues, that I prefer to not even think of at this moment. But, after a successful installation I'm ready to start going in and adding some info, mods etc....BUT!
My security code is missing!!
Think I had this problem years ago with PHPNuke, but don't recall the answer & can't find it here.
Allright you Brave Coders in Shining Armour.....help ole girl out?

Is this on a production server or just a local server?

Spell it out for the stupid, please? It's a hosted site with a single domain on it.

Until you get the security code issue figured out, you can change $gfx_chk in config.php to 0 so you can log in. The first thing I would do to try and fix it is to reupload the includes/captcha folder.

Thanx! This is why I love you guys..ya give a nudge. I shoulda remembered that, but what can I say....age is setting in & I think I have a severe case of "Use It or Lose It"
Nuken, have I told you lately that you rock?

OK, here comes the melt down. I've got a class.php-captcha file that is 16KB, but no captcha directory. Everything installed fine. & I do know that this really isn't a installation file, but would like to suggest for the next version there is somethinng that reaches out & smacks ya upside the head & shouts "You're missing something.
How can I possibly have gotten this many corrupted d/loads?
I had to have the repairman out for my DSL line a few weeks ago. Maybe something is wrong. Tho I do know my uploads to server are going OK coz I've went thru them by each directory. I'm gonna re-upload this file, in doubtful hopes that you meant this rather than folder.
After that, I don't know what to do other than ask somone to please send me the dang thing in my email.
Me, it's me, one messed up UPC code in the entire store I find that product, with that code. Wearing a white or light colored blouse & there is only one know small tiny speck of oil left on the planet & it will gravitate to me & splatter when it hits.........
OK.....not too bad a fit this time....at least so far. Bang Head

Well, those hopes are dashed. Is there anyone willing to just send me this file complete? Let me start over & get this done? Please, I promise not to bark, growl or bite (unless it involves sticking up for Raven or one of you guys) for awhile. I can't give you a set date on how long I can hold out, but at least a day or 2. And even if I go off, I got my shots this year, so no rabies.

What a huge and strange problem Deseroka has. I never thought something like that. I think you are really funny. lol. I am sorry you have this issue. I would like to help you. Let me know.

Send me the file. I'll know it's clean & complete. I seem to be uploading everything fine, becoz I have went thru diretories & subdirectories file by file & everything I am receiving I am uploading (Like the Flash FTP, BTW & thank you VERY much)
You will soon hear a loud explosion coming from the SE, South Florida area to be exact. This will be me throwing a few things around & will be followed by a louder explosion. That will be my head finally blowing off my d*** shoulders.
I hope there is no one here that I care about close enuff to get splatter all over themselves, house, yard. car etc & have to clean up the mess.
I'd come help with the cleanup, but of course I'll be headless, so won't have a clue.....

Just the captcha file? Anyone? I'm getting desperate here.

Posted: Mon Apr 26, 2010 12:51 pm

Deseroka, I'll zip them up when I get home tonight.

Er I think nuken may have mislead you, there shouldn't be a includes/captcha directory.

Does you hosting have GD & freetype support?

Posted: Mon Apr 26, 2010 1:39 pm

jakec is right.... That was a left over folder from a long time ago.... Sorry.

Deseroka, are you hosted by Raven? I just want to be sure since it has client under your name.

Posted: Mon Apr 26, 2010 5:58 pm

Not this one. I compared files to another being set up & saw there is no directory for captcha. nuken is gonna take a peek at it for me.
I ain't even going into the kind of day I've had. You people will start holding up silver crosses & stuff when you hear my name. Dang...

It was because of a php configuration issue. All is good.
