Dear friends of my little forum,
I have just installed mlf v2 RC1, but I have noticed that clicking on "register" just opens a blank page: ...index.php?mode=register
Does anybody know the possible reasons for that? Could there be a problem with any rights of some files or folders?
Logging in as admin or user (who is registered from the admins account) is no problem.
I am very thankful for any clues,
Arthur Dent
I just found out, that the CAPTCHA function seemed to play a role in the appearance of the blank page. When I set the configuration so that new registrants should need to solve the MATH CAPTCHA, I see a blank page. When I deactivate Spam-protection, registering works.
But I would like to have a SPAM protection for new members of the forum.
Does anybody has an idea?
Thanks for help,
Arthur Dent

Dear Arthur Dent (what a nick)!
Do you have access to your server's error-log? A blank page is typical for a fatal error of the PHP-interpreter. In the log you will find the error message and the line of the script causing trouble. This information should serve as an entry point.

Thanks Alfie,
unfortunately I don't have access to the error log. I just saw (by chance) a browser window with following lines:
Notice: Undefined variable:captcha in /...PATH.../includes/register.inc.php on line 259
Fatal error: Call to a member function generate_math_captcha() on a non-object in /...PATH.../includes/register.inc.php on line 259
After that I changed the Spam settings, and - as I wrote earlier - without CAPTCHA everything works fine.
Are there any configurations which I have to make before running the Math Captcha? What can I try?
Thanks for any clues,
Arthur Dent

BTW, a server must not be configured to come up with error-messages to the client.
Notice: Undefined variable:captcha in /...PATH.../includes/register.inc.php on line 259
OK this is the call to the function generate_math_captcha() in captcha.php.
Stupid question: is the folder /...PATH.../modules/captcha/ (and all it's contents) available on the server?
Maybe you just unzip the forum again locally and upload only this folder again.
