Security Image Not Showing

It's spitting out this:

Code:

Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg(images/admins/code_bg.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/virtual/site333/fst/var/www/html/admin.php on line 112

possibly a permissions thing or a missing background image.
have to run. Will check back later tonight.

ah, I know what this is then. My host uses an admin folder for control panel items so I had to change the phpnuke admin folder to admins. I just did a nice search and replace across the files to fix it all, but it messed up the image directory /images/admin/ called in the admin.php file.

My fault in the end. Thank again for all the help.

You probably already have it installed, but you need to turn it on.

In your php.ini file, uncomment (by removing the leading semi-colon) the gd library extension like so:

Code:

;Windows Extensions
;Note that MySQL and ODBC support is now built in, so no dll is needed for it.
;
;extension=php_bz2.dll
;extension=php_cpdf.dll
;extension=php_crack.dll
;extension=php_curl.dll
;extension=php_db.dll
;extension=php_dba.dll
;extension=php_dbase.dll
;extension=php_dbx.dll
;extension=php_domxml.dll
;extension=php_exif.dll
;extension=php_fdf.dll
;extension=php_filepro.dll
extension=php_gd2.dll
;extension=php_gettext.dll
;extension=php_hyperwave.dll
;extension=php_iconv.dll

Hi All ; Just wanted to say thanks to everyone here! I've learned a long time ago that reading a forum before posting a question thats probably been answered a million times, is a smart thing to do. Well I had an interesting problem similar to some of you above.; where the security image would show up only when logged in as admin. I did all the things listed at the beginning of this thread to no evail. I didn't want to add the security mod as mentioned so I kept plugging along.
• Turning the "My_Accout" module to "All Visitors" was the answer!
DUHHHHHH!

Should have known when i tried to log in and it said

Hi.

Have the same problem.

I just moved to a new host, and reinstalled PHPNuke ver 6.8. Everyhting seems to be ok, but I can't get the security images or the text for the security code to show. This goes both for the user login and admin login.

Followed most of the steps already provided in this thread without no luck so far. I tried the fix here with changing from jpeg to gif, but no luck. Could not find any extra lines or spaces in my config.php.

Where do I find the analyzer to check that my host support GD?

Cheers.. ShareInfo Wink

I just did a fresh install of 7.1 and most people have been able to register just fine but a couple people now have not because the security code didn't show up. I have worked with one of the people and made sure their browser is current and they are using IE but still no luck.

Any ideas what would cause this for just some people?

I'm using 6.9 with latest security updates and have tried and tried with this problem
Analyze.php does'nt even show the security code, my get around has been to tell visitors to get the image url and pull it in a browser.

Now my normal OS is Microcrappy IE6 but SHaZaam use Mozilla Firebird and there is no problem Image shows every time.

So is this an IE problem as opposed to cussing Nuke all the time?

Analyzer is available through a link on the main page of this web site. Top center. Look for "Analyzer main".

I don't know of any reason why IE wouldn't be showing images from your site. I haven't had an problem with it showing images from my site.

Perhaps you have some code in your site that is doing something different when IE6 is the client and that is getting into the stream of the image. If so, the gfx function fixes shown in this thread should eliminate that.

Meanwhile, what is your site so we can see what it's doing?
