Hi. I just installed UBB 7.1.1 and am having problems with Captcha. My server has Imagemagick installed, and the path to it is /usr/bin/perl which I put in the "Path to Convert". In the "Path to Mogrify" I put in /usr/bin/mogrify (because I saw it suggested in other related posts here).
I have Captcha enabled, but when I try to register as a new user no Captcha image is shown. I have run the Captcha test on my server, but only get a blank page. Anyone have a suggestion or a fix that I can try?
Cheers- John
PS, I tried changing the "Path to Convert" to /usr/bin/convert but still had the same issue..

Trust me, the path to imagemagick is not /usr/bin/perl; this is the path to perl...
Your path will vary, but in most cases it'll be /usr/bin/convert and /usr/bin/mogrify however you'll need to check to be sure.
The captcha image will not display if the paths are not set properly
If you are unsure of how to look up the path to Convert and Mogrify, you should have your webhost provide those paths for you (should ImageMagick be installed)
Well, I contacted my webhost and was told that ImageMagick is installed on the server, and that the needed paths are as follows: /usr/local/bin/convert /usr/local/bin/mogrify
I have changed the ImageMagick Settings in the UBB Control Panel to reflect this, but still no Captca image shows up in registration? Does anyone else have any ideas I can try?
Thanks!!

The Captcha folder is in the images directory, right where UBB has them placed. FYI, when I FTP'd to the website I moved the images folder as Binary per the setup instructions.
Why are some of the simple things in life so difficult sometimes?
Thanks! John
