Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Adding a CaptchaField() to a form and hosting that form on Apache+nginx

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

There is no edit or delete option so I'll continue with the details here.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Adding a CaptchaField() to a form and hosting that form on Apache+nginx

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I can't see the captcha image on the live server but can see it when I use 
runserver on my local machine.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using django-simple-captcha-0.2.0.zip.
Python 2.6.6-2
PIL 1.1.7-2

Please provide any additional information below.
I've attached a screenshot showing what the form looks like when I use 
runserver. I then have attached one showing what it looks like via the live 
site. The projects are identical.

I have projects running on that exact configuration and everything works fine 
here. 
Please make sure that 

a) The URL of the captcha image (by default /captcha/image/) isn't served by 
Nginx (as a static media, that is)

b) The live server has all the correct libraries and dependencies (ssh into the 
live server, cd to the project dir and run "./manage.py test captcha")

Okay, next test: try temporarily activating DEBUG in your settings file and 
restart apache, then point your browser to the url of a valid captcha image 
(i.e. /captcha/image/<hash-code>/). 

If there is an error somewhere, you should see a nice Django HTTP 500 error 
dump. 

Make sure you turn off DEBUG afterwards.

I just get a 404 error. This shows that there is nothing wrong with the 
simple-captcha code I guess. Definitly something which is not loaded and needed 
on the server.

I've reinstalled PIL and got libfreetype6. Anything else I might be missing?
