I uploaded all the captcha files as the readme says, go into plugins in admin, click install, click install again on the next page, and get this followed by a looooooong string of stuff.

An error has occurred:
2 - fopen(/home/con/logs/captcha.log) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied @ /hsphere/local/home2/onewildt/perpcon/plugins/captcha/functions.inc line 247

Any ideas?

In my error log this is all I get:

*** dummy entry ***

From the error you quoted, it looks like it can't create/open the captcha.log file in the logs/ directory. Double check the permission on that file and the logs/ directory and make sure the web server has write permissions.

Hope this helps...

Thanks!

OK, I created the file since it didn't exist and gave it write permissions and that fixed that. I tested registering a new user and it said once the application was approved, an email with the password would be sent. I don't want to have to approve new members. It went ahead and added the user without moderation from me so it's not relevant in that sense, but I'd like to change that message back to the "your password has been emailed" bit. Could you tell me where that bit of language is and in the future, if I decide to moderate new registrations, where would I turn that on/off?
Thanks!

Check your geeklog config.php file and see what you have set for:


If 1, then you get the 'approval required' action, if set to 0, they are emailed their password and you should not have to approve them.

Thanks!

When I set this to 0 I still have to moderate new users, no change at all. The config documentation says this is for moderating story submissions not users, so can anyone tell me where I can turn off new user registration moderation?

Thanks!

polar82,

Geez, you are right, I think I've had too many late nights. The correct config.php setting for determining if user moderation is enabled is:

Make sure this is set to 0 in your config file and new users should not be moderated.

Sorry 'bout that!

Thanks!
Mark

No problem friend, I appreciate your help!
