I have captcha code enabled for my comment box; however, everyday I receive about 2-3 spam comments of the same topic. Is it possible for someone to write up a script for inputting these required information that easily or a human is actually doing this manually?
I tried to setup your spam control on your gallery script (confirming email address before comment is posted) to weblog script but am not having any luck so far.
I hate spam!!

Me too my friend, me too.
Unfortunately captcha`s aren`t as reliable now as many bots are so advanced they can bypass them.
This forum has the re-captcha option installed as well as the figlet captcha for posts and yet each day I get hundreds of spam messages hit the forum. Only a few get through. I wrote a routine to try and catch some, which works for about 90%.

What I meant to say in the original thread was that I couldn't mimic the verification email with the gallery script. However, after spending a couple of days with it, I got it working 95%. If you can recall how you script the code, I try to copy it to the weblog script. I have a couple of issue with the pages not coming up when comments are submitted (page is broken) and when the verification link (500 internal error) is clicked on. I tried looking around to see if I have missed a code or if the code is not in placed, but I can't find it.
If you have the time, would you be able to login to double check it for me?

Yes, not a problem, send over your log in details.

Hi David.
I got some of my issues fixed. Finally. However, I have one that I still can't figure out. It is the email verification link that the visitor clicks on to confirm his email address. Whenever, that link is clicked, I get a 500 error page, but the verification works as I see the changed made in my sql database. If I click the verification link the second time, it sends me to my webpage saying the link has already been verify (this is good).
I don't know what I'm missing at this point.
the verification link shows this url (with mod rewrite on)
http://mydomain.com/verify/generated_code/html
when the 500 internal error pops up, it shows this on the url bar.
http://mydomain.com/verify/generated_code/index.php
Notice the 'index.php'
Like I mentioned above, if the link is click the second time, it shows the correct url and it takes me to my page stating that the link has been used.

Ok, no problem. I haven`t forgot this, just can`t get to it at the moment.

Hi Duc,
In your htaccess file you have:
RewriteRule ^verify-email/(.*)/index.html index.php?cmd=verify_email&code=$1 [nc]
Shoudn`t that be:
RewriteRule ^verify/(.*)/index.html index.php?cmd=verify_email&code=$1 [nc]
Because 'verify-email' you aren`t using in the links?
Offline
I've changed it from verify to verify-email in both main file and htaccess.

And does it work any better?
Offline
It's the same. Still not working properly.
Offline
Ok, well I`ll have to get to it when I can. I just don`t have time at the moment, sorry. I was hoping the htaccess issue might have fixed it.
Offline
I get an internal error when mod rewrite is turned on when I click on the verify link, but if it is turned off, the link sends me to the index.php (home) page.
What is this telling me?

That the link isn`t correct and something is causing it to default to the index page?
Offline
Ok, and it's weird when I click on the link the second time, it takes me to the correct page like it suppose too.
Offline
So, same kind of thing as with the html urls?
Offline
Not sure if I follow you there.
Offline
Well, when you had the mod rewrite on didn`t you say it was a 500 when you clicked it, but then ok the second time?
Offline
Yes, correct. That is why I'm confused as to why it doesn't work. When I click the link the second time, it sends me to my page saying you have already confirmed your email.
Offline
Yep, a mystery. btw, just because you have the mod rewrite disabled doesn`t disable .htaccess. Try removing the htaccess from your directory and see what happens.
Offline
I have disabled mod rewrite and removed the htacccess from directory.
The first click sends me to index.php and the second click sends me to the page like it suppose to saying the email has been verified.
Offline
So that made no difference. Looks like a mystery.
Offline
Weird. I think it is in the code that's causing this. This bit of code is for the error message that tells the visitor their email has been verified. I moved some codes around to see if I have made an error somewhere and I noticed if I move the 'exit'; between the two brackets. The first click of the verify link shows a blank page, but the url shows correctly like this.
http://domain.com/verify-email/generated-code/html
Where as before it would give me a 500 internal message and the link is this.
http://domain/verify-email/generated-code/index.php
$VERIFIED = true;
} else {
$errorLoad = true;
}
} else {
$errorLoad = true;
}
// Error?
if (isset($errorLoad)) {
include(FOLDER_PATH.'inc/header.php');
showPageMessage($msg_comment9);
include(FOLDER_PATH.'inc/footer.php');
exit;
}
}

It can sometimes help to have your server error reporting to report all errors. This could throw a lot of errors though if its something you don`t normally set. Often the error reporting helps fix problems though. Maybe worth a try?

Ok. The log shows this error.
Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.,
Here is more error with loglevel set to 'debug'

Ok, so at least you know now why its going to the index page. I`ve never encountered that error before I`m afraid.
