I'm running Proxmox server with vm debian 6 running in it with LAMP installed, website location /VAR/WWW/(all in here)

and this is how i'm testing it.

-http://192.168.100.3/
-http://192.168.100.3/files.php
-http://192.168.100.3/download.php?file=505WC_youtube.com.rar (click on guest)
-http://192.168.100.3/download.php?file=505WC_youtube.com.rar (enter security code)
-http://localhost/download2.php?a=505WC_youtube.com.rar&b=c3c8ebd789b8915c121066e19f0c10ea (Not Found The requested URL /download2.php was not found on this server.)

let me know if u need no any thing else

I suggest your localhost is pointing to 127.0.0.1 and not 192.168.100.3.

Try using the link with url http://192.168.100.3/download2.php?a=50 ... e19f0c10ea

If it works, you need to modify your /etc/hosts file to make new imaginary hostname and put that on site configs. or simply put the site on live server with not-internal IP address.

Ok, let's give it a shot. Thou it's something around 24 hours since I've last slept, so don't get upset if instructions include some insanity like jumping while standing on your head or such

On your site admin page (http://192.168.100.3/admin.php) go to settings and find "Script URL"

Set Script URL to something you wish your domain name would be... for example http://myownpersonalstorage.com/
Then you open up console from your debian (or ssh connection, however you like) and with root account (or with if you use sudo, simply add command "sudo" in front) "nano /etc/hosts" witch will open up text editor to your hosts file. There you will add like saying "192.168.100.3 myownpersonalstorage.com".
Press control + o to save, control + x to exit text editor.
Now you should have working configuration on your local linux.

Downside is that if you get other private IP address for your server, you need to update that IP into hosts file but hey...isn't that supposed to be just temporary till publication of your brand new wonderful file hosting site anyways

I have same problem and I can not fix! I did all what you have told and nothing.

Did you try adding ./ before monofont? Also, are you sure GDLibrary is installed and enabled on the webserver? You can check this by PHPINFO() or by your web hoster (if your package is managed).

There's a bug in the code.
open with your favorite text editor the file CaptchaSecurityImages.php
Go to line 28
change this:
var $font = 'monofont.ttf';
to this;
var $font = './monofont.ttf';

... so all you need to do, is to add "./" (without the quotas).

Cheers,
Sc
