How do I troubleshoot the turing code not displaying? I'm trying to create a non-admin user on my testing server, but the turing code graphic is not displayed - it's just the text "turing code" followed by the field for entering it.

Was an application missed that needs to be installed or does this not work when running the site while on the server?

Update

I figured out how to find the Captcha code by browsing the "ozone-session" table in the PostgreSQL database (after starting the "create account" process) and was able to create an account for a non-admin user.

The other good news is that I am finally able to access my site not only from my internal network, but from the outside world as well!

I'll have to wait for an answer on why the Captcha (turing code) graphic is not rendering properly before getting too excited. But for now, I have a work-around for my own use.

In spite of my trials and tribulations (and some frustration), I'm learning a lot more about Linux and becoming less fearful of it the more I dig into these issues and try to figure them out!

If using Ubuntu or Debian, you need to install php5-gd:

apt-get install php5-gd.

I have updated the Debian QuickStart doc.

And after installing the extension, you need to restart the apache.
