Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Installed captcha, configured image captcha with a custom font (uploaded to the fonts folder), and it worked fine.
Moved the site to a different domain, now captcha stopped working. Disabled and uninstalled the modules, cleared the cache, reinstalled, same thing.
The image URL looks like: /image_captcha/199836009
and it does not seem right, looks like it is missing a prefix

soxofaan commentedA typical issue with moving sites is that the anonymous user is lost in the users table. Please check that you have a uid=0 in the users table. This is required for CAPTCHA to work.

Concerning the 'prefix': I think you mean 'postfix' or 'extension'?
Anyway, /image_captcha/199836009 is a valid URL for image captcha, it returns an image. Note that file types on the web are determined by 'Content-type' http headers, not by extension.
Also note this image can only be requested once to avoid misuse. More info: http://drupal.org/node/163841#comment-587834

mariuss commentedYes, there is a uid=0 in the table. Only the side domain changed, sorry that was clear, but the actual files and database stayed at the same location.
OK, I understand now how the image URL works, no problem with prefix/suffix.
The strange thing is, the image captcha works now. Was reading the threads you suggested, switched to math captcha, and back, and now the image is there. Go figure.
Thanks.
