Description
Hi, I've setup CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA for my site and configured permissions, however I get the maths CAPTCHA coming up as the example for reCAPTCHA, and on node content. Is this a fallback because reCAPTCHA isn't working? What might be the issue with reCAPTCHA, I get no error messages coming up. The one thing I can think of is I have the System Proxy module setup that changes how Drupal opens a socket to remote clients... The problem persists if I use secure connection or not.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
Matt.
#1
Firewall issue was our first problem with this module
I just set it up again for another site and it's having similar problems
It hangs then gives you a Math Captcha
Will investigate tomorrow - So tired

im seeing the same thing in 2.5
subscribing...
#3
Tested the reCaptcha on our other sites (where it has worked previously) and it was doing the same thing
We believe it is most likely that the IP for the service has changed and that has to be compensated for in our firewall
Also remember, I_think_you need a set of API keys for each domain you're using reCaptcha on
Will let you know when the server tech gets a mo'!

subscribe, I tried to change the 40th line in the recaptchalib.php from:
define("RECAPTCHA_VERIFY_SERVER", "api-verify.recaptcha.net");to
define("RECAPTCHA_VERIFY_SERVER", "api-verify.recaptcha.net/verify");and
define("RECAPTCHA_VERIFY_SERVER", "http://api-verify.recaptcha.net/verify");but nothing :-(

Once again it was a firewall rule issue (for us) - We changed the rule to match the new IP for the service and now everything is OK :)
It's the only problem we've ever had with this wonderful module! Thanks to all involved!
#6
for me is still not working :-(. help!

Looks like the library is at fault here... at least in my instance. I grabbed an older version from a working site and my sites work now.
The one that works has an md5sum:
d5c9e8dd05f35f978887c63a1e9a00dd recaptchalib.php
the one i had that did not has an md5sum:

I think it's because reCAPTCHA module queries for the reCAPTCHA server, and thinks that it's down, and then uses the math captcha instead..... I think we should take that check out..... Thoughts?
