Hi,
My site is nothingonline.net and as you can see in the registration scree, I can't get captcha to generate an image.

I typically get the following error.

http://nothingonline.net/?q=captcha/image/1106544552

<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>:  Call to undefined function:  imagecreatetruecolor() in <b>/home/someone/public_html/modules/captcha/captcha.module</b> on line <b>212</b><br />

Any ideas?
I installed, Freetype & GD.

Thanks,
someone.

Strange, I'm getting it too.
I just moved to a new server and this pops up.
A little digging shows that I forgot to enable GD in the php.ini.
I also later found that my PHP install was compiled without GD support, so I had to re-install php with gd support.
Go here: http://us2.php.net/gd for more information.
Have I mentioned how much I hate moving servers lately? *grumble* *grumble* *grumble*

Well, specifically, compiling PHP for GD support isn't enough -- you have to compile it using PHP's own internal fork of the GD project, which is very annoying. I would very much like to see a portable version of Captcha written that doesn't rely on the nonstandard extensions.

Please update your captcha to the latest versions; you shouldn't be facing problems now if you have PHP + GD2.

Did you set permission to all users?
