Attached is an image of my problem but here goes. Installed RoR to run Raillist. I installed it per instructions and everything seems to be working great except I can''t get my captcha images to show I am not sure what the problem is as I am a complete noob to RoR. Any pointers towards a direction to fix would be greatly appreciated! If you need to the site address is secondlist dot org. Thank you very much in advance. -Christine Attachments: http://www.ruby-forum.com/attachment/4439/simplecaptcha.png -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Christine, I am the author of Railslist (craigslist clone). Your problem appears to be an issue with ImageMagick/RMagick. You can resolve it either by re-installing them or by verifying that it path is correct. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I love this software and I appreciate the time you took to create it and make it open source. I have checked some paths but I am wondering now what to do. I have noticed a discrepancy here: in simple_captcha_config.rb (/vendor/plugins/simple_captcha/lib/) def simple_captcha_image_path #:nodoc "#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/simple_captcha/assets/images/simple_captcha/ However I do not have an images/simple_captcha folder in assets. (everything else I think is correct or appears to be) So I created it for grins and giggles as to maybe it needs that folder to temp write the image (I am grasping at straws so pardon if I make a mistake) Whereis ImageMagick results with (In case this is needed) convert: /usr/bin/convert /usr/share/man/man1/convert.1.gz I am at a loss and am stuck in the weeds. Thanks again for any response in advance.

YAY! So I got the captcha working on my own. For information''s sake here''s how I had to fix the problem. I went here: http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ and installed the fonts. It stuck them in /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts but the default path is not there so I so I just copied the fonts inside that folder to /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType reloaded my site and the captcha was there. Thank you to anyone who read this and to Railslist for taking the time to reply. I am thoroughly excited I figured that one out on my own, though I should have known all along what the problem was.
