disabling captcha

udittmer

Check out the Systemglobals.properties file for properties named "captcha", particularly captcha.registration and captcha.posts. Add those to the file WEB-INF/config/jforum-custom.conf, and set their value to true. Then start the web app.

Alternatively, assuming you built the web app from the latest code in SVN, those settings have a GUI in Admin Control Panel -> Configurations.

I made the Enable Captcha during registration to false.yet while registering the user the error is "Captcha response does not match the challenge"

im using Jforum 2.4.1

Check the value in jforum-custom.conf and make sure it is correct. if you change it, make sure to stop the web app before changing it.

udittmer

It is stored in WEB-INF/conf.

can u share the svn link

udittmer

The directory and the file get created when you install and run the web app; look in your servlet container's webapps directory for the jforum2 directory. The file is not part of the source code.

i want to disable the captcha while registering

udittmer

Then which of the two setttings do you think will be involved?

chandumahesh.k@rsninfotech.com

i have done as u said

udittmer

That's odd. Stop the web app, and inspect jforum-custom.conf for the value of the captcha.registration property and post it here. IN fact, post all "captcha.*" property values here.

Captcha response does not match the challenge.

You're right, there is a bug in 2.4.1 that causes the values of registration captcha and post captcha to not being used correctly. I have just checked in a fix for that into the SVN repository. If you grab the latest source code and build the war file yourself using Maven, you will get the fix and everything else listed in https://sourceforge.net/p/jforum2/wiki2/NewFeaturesTrunk/ as well.
