Unhappy Desperately need captcha help!

Hi, I am using a wordpress classified theme, and it is using captcha to be able to post classifieds, the placeholder is now but not the image.

Someone said it may be a problem with my GDLibrary? But I don't even know how to modify that, I am a designer who got stuck trying to fix the back end of this app.

I am a PHP retard. Can anyone please help me to fix this?

here is where the problem is, it shows up when you click "post a classified."

Looking at the direct link to the PHP file, I would say it's not a GD problem at this stage, but simply the file cannot be found on the server in that particular location.

Everything seems to be there....I've looked through all the files and the relative paths seem to be correct.

In order to run the theme you need to have the absolute path on the server, could this be an error of that path? Everything else seems to be working....

I don't understand then, if I see the file in this directory, why it doesn't display an image. Unless the file that is there, aptly named php_captcha.php, contains the 404 data?

However, the code that is returned for that file is the HTTP code 404, which tells me that is a true 404 error page, and something has gone terribly wrong in the upload process of that file. You could try re-uploading, but I am confused as to why it's present in the directory, and then you when you click on it the server informs me that it's absent.

For that to work as expected, it needs to return as HTTP code 200, to start with, and also have the content type as an image: JPG, GIF, et cetera. It's not even accessing the GD library as it stands.

Please check the contents of php_catpcha.php and, if necessary, upload its contents to this thread.
