3wwwtest.cgi
4-----------
5Functional as a cgi-script or in a mod_perl setup.
6To install (on a machine with Authen::Captcha installed):
7- copy it to your cgi-bin
8- modify permissions so that it is executable:
9 chmod a+rx wwwtest.cgi
10- edit the script, setting the variables at it's top to
11 appropriate values:
12 $output_dir : should be set to a directory that is within your
13 DocumentRoot. This directory must be writable by
14 the web server user, eg:
15 chgrp apache /var/www/html/captcha
16 chmod g+rwx /var/www/html/captcha
17 $www_output_dir : should be set to where the $output_dir maps
18 to the outside world. In the above example,
19 if /var/www/html is the DocumentRoot,
20 $www_output_dir should be set to '/captcha'
21 $db_dir : should be set to a directory that is NOT accessable
22 from the web, and is writable by the web server user.
23 $num_of_characters : controls how many characters will be displayed
24 in the resulting Captcha.
25- Pull up the script in a browser, and test it. If it doesn't work,
26 check your web server log files.
