Description of my issue:

Hi guys! I just downloaded the pro tools the other night and I think it:s awesome. Truly, awesome. What you guys have been able to do is something close to miraculous. However, after I installed it I noticed that I cannot see my captcha image in one of my forms.

I receive this message when I go to the URL for the captcha image+

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /plugins/system/icaptcha/captcha_systems/securImage2/show.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.*


If you could provide me with any help I:d be more than grateful! Thanks.

hey mate,

1. i agree, niko is quiet a legend in these parts, ATP is fantastic

2. to fix your issues you will need to add an exception into the htaccess maker section of admin tools. Simple go into the htaccess maker and under server protection - all access to these files, go to the bottom and paste, plugins/system/icaptcha/captcha_systems/securImage2/show.php

Save and you will find your good to go hopefully.

The alternative is find a captcha plugin which does not call through rogue php files, that would be ideal.

Let us know how you go mate.
