This used to work?
All that's changed is that i used to have.

Apache 1
Myqsl 4
Php 4

Upgraded - clean install (lol)

Apache 2
Mysql 5
Php 5

In a forum where i allow users to post with image verification
i decided just to have a go as the invisible man.

I suspect its going to be the same on my registration screen too.
Hang on i shall check.

Yeh its the same there too, you cant get past the image verification, see last image.

The images below show various attempts to get past image verification, like i say above before the software upgrade
there wasn't a problem

Tested in FF2 + IE7
i suspect its my server as it always is lol

That was me above and i forgot to add the images.

Make sure the sessions directory is writable on the new server. This is where it stores the code that needs to be matched, so my first guess is sessions aren't being written.

okay will check now 777

it was 777
Its empty apart from the index file.

Just checked the ubbjs folder
made that 777 + 666 files

still the same.

Will check the permissions on the other folders,
as i followed the on-line instructions for permissions
when i uploaded the forums again.

And its all green lights in the control panel on the permissions checker ??

I'm going to dig out my printed copy and follow what it says.
that may kick start it??

Nope
Checked the permissions from the Install Guide.
All mine were as it stated.

Cleared the cache and tried again, and again.

la pm sent (That's French for pm sent lol)

Same server Rick, just a Reinstall after i trashed it lol.
Unix

Hmm, probably will need a support ticket. If the sessions directory is empty, that's the reason it's not working and it will also cause other problems as well.

okay will do,
no other problems are reported though.

If i cleared the cache would that clear the sessions ??

Doing a ticket now.
