Captcha - and this is a strange one!

People, just wanna say first that there are some really helpful members on here who have posted info which is a big help!!!

Anway this is a strange one. I installed Dolphin on my webserver ok and all fine and installed it into

www.mydomain.com/mynewdomain/dolphin

If I do a dummy test and join using the above URL all is good. If I use (and this is what I want to do) www.mynewdomain.com and do a dummy join the captcha doesn't work. I clearly enter in the right captcha image but it doesnt like it.

If I goto

www.mydomain.com/mynewdomain/dolphin and join it's fine. What is going on????

OK, I have a question for you.

1. Are you saying that you have Dolphin installed in 2 directories at both www.mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com/mynewdomain/dolphin?

2. What version are you using?

3. Are all installations using the same database?

Hi Chris

No, I'm using one system but my hosting company have set up URL masking for me.

I am running 6.1 - just one system is installed

Thanks

Send me your domain address via email here and I will take a look.

Also, I was asking if you have more than one instance of dolphin installed. You said it worked fine at mydomain.com/mynewdomain/dolphin but wanted it mydomain.com/

Can we not try and see if we can do something with out giving out my domain

Sure, I can try. So lets begin with "where" is your dolphin installed?

In www.mydomain.com  or in www.mydomain.com/mynewdomain/dolphin ?

 Thanks, it was initially installed at:

www.mydomain/mynewdomain.com/dolphin

Everything fine until tonight when hosting company did the URL mask job

if i goto www.mydomain.com/mynewdomain.com/dolphin and join it's cool

if I goto www.mynewdomain.com and try and join it;s not cool

if i goto www.mydomain.com/mynewdomain.com/dolphin and join it's cool

if I goto www.mynewdomain.com and try and join it;s not cool

Thinking about it now.

I installed it into mydomain.com/dolphin and created the SQL database.

I then installed Dolphin onto mydomain/mynewdomain.com/dolphin but used the same SQL.

Does this lot make sense???

Ok, You may need to contact your host to see what it is that they did. Especially if you could previously go to mynewdomain.com and it worked previously.

Just wonder, besides the joining problem with Captcha, does everything else work on the site?

Edit: If you wanted it to be where people go to www.mynewdomain.com, then why install it in the sub-directory of mynewdomain.com/dolphin

You should have installed it in mydomain/mynewdomain.com

 Fine and dandy!

I see there is a couple of installs on the server so I may just do a re-install

How can I check the SQL is mapped correctly?

You can edit your inc/header.inc.php file and scroll down until you see this:

$db['host']                = 'localhost';
$db['sock']                = '';
$db['port']                = '';
$db['user']                = 'username';
$db['passwd']              = 'password';
$db['db']                  = 'database name';

If your database is not mapped properly, your site should be working at all actually.
