Cached version of captcha code being displayed

New Member Joined: Jan 23, 2006 Posts: 9

I'm having log-in problems on a fresh install of RN 2.20.01 - both user and admin. Firefox 2.0.0.17 is displaying a cached version of the captcha code, so my first log-in attempt fails. If I refresh the page I get the new, current code.

I had Firefox 3.0.1 when I started building this site and didn't have this problem with captcha codes, but the new Firefox gave me trouble with saving urls entered in pop-ups in FCKEditor so I switched back.

No problem in I.E.

Searching this forum I saw a reference to a similar problem resulting from the server's handling of sessions.

Is there a simple hack for the call to the captcha image that will ensure the image reloads every time and not be served from the browser's cache?

Thanks,

Michael

ps. As a long-time Platinum user I'm quite pleased with my first Raven Nuke install.

I think there may be a tweak to the .htaccess file which you can use. Have a search of the forums and you might find the answer.

Here are the caching directives found in version 2.20.01. Had you possibly added one for PHP scripts too? Maybe it is one of these or you may need to check with your host.

Code:




# -------------------------------------------


# Only process if mod_expires is installed


# For faster load times cache certain types of files for specific amount of time


# You should adjust these settings based upon your caching requirements


# -------------------------------------------


<IfModule mod_expires.c>


   ExpiresActive On


   # ExpiresDefault A86400


   ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 month"


   ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 5 minutes"


   ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month"


   ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 month"


   ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 month"


   ExpiresByType text/plain "access plus 15 minutes"


   ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access plus 1 month"


   ExpiresByType video/x-flv "access plus 1 month"


   ExpiresByType application/pdf "access plus 1 month"


   ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 5 minutes"


   ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 5 minutes"


   ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 5 minutes"


</IfModule>
