[Webmail] Captcha render failed about magma HOT 15 CLOSED

I think my changes to the build.lib script fixed the issue, then I broke it again, and then fixed it again. Since I finally had a little bit of time, I decided to test the vagrant boxes I setup. They are barren CentOS 6 machines, like your docker container, and I was able to access the register page and see the captcha when loaded off the vagrant box (for what its worth, I tested it using the virtualbox provider). See the screenshot below. If the error pops up again, let me know.

Will take a look. What font are you using? Have you tried different fonts? If a recall magma randomly selects a font in the dir for the captcha.

I'm using default config

Looks like you're right. I checked my repo from 3 years ago, before I handed off the code, and magmad.so included freetype. About to go see what happened, and then add it back...

from magma.

I think I found the problem. I have freetype installed inside my dev vm, so freetype gets configured. You probably don't, and you should have to. I've updated the build script to look in the bundled freetype directory. I'm testing the changes now, before pushing.

from magma.

Run:

build.lib all
build.magma
magma.run

Try the CAPTCHA and report back. Note the above assumes you've already run linkup.sh, and ~/bin is part of your path.

Any commit after 6de1ae7 should work. The 298aa86 commit will run faster, as the dep checks are run in parallel once again.

Catpcha still not rendered yet, same error message as above

from magma.

There may have been a problem with the build order. I just pushed a second attempt. Also, are you generating the error by visiting http://localhost:10000/register ? Screenshot of what I see is attached. As you can tell, I'm seeing the CAPTCHA. I ask because there may be another registration endpoint, or piece that's using the CAPTCHA. I haven't looked.

If you type:
build.lib gd-log | grep "Support for Freetype"

You should see:

   Support for Freetype 2.x library: yes
   Support for Freetype 2.x library: yes

You can also double check, things are current by launching magma. Look for Freetype 2.6.3 and libpng 1.6.22. Both libs were updated today.

from magma.

yes the uri is /register, magma startup message show correct libs' version. but captcha still not rendered.

I removed the build folder after it built (using docker), will try again later to see build log

from magma.

If you want to test for a fix the quick way, you could try:

build.lib freetype
build.lib gd

And then grep the log file. Odds are gd will complain that jpeg and png libs are unavailable, so it might not compile, but it should get through the configure, and show that it found freetype.

from magma.

If your in an even bigger hurry you specify the steps for each manually as well:

build.lib gd-extract
build.lib gd-prep
build.lib gd-build

Then you can skip the "check" stage for the libs. You could also do that for all libs like so:

build.lib extract
build.lib prep
build.lib build
build.lib combine

from magma.

it working now, strange

from magma.

The correct captcha value will be in the magmad log file

from magma.

I think I fixed this already. If you run git pull && make distclean && make the graphics library should get compiled correctly, and the CAPTCHA should work. The distclean is needed to force a rebuild of magmad.so.
