[SOLVED] Blank screen - Spambot counter measures.

satcur · Post by **satcur** » Sun Jun 17, 2018 12:07 pm

Hi!,
I upgraded from 3.0.12 to 3.2.2 and when I clicked the "Spambot counter measures" the screen goes white (blank). I also dis-activated the "Enable spambot countermeasures for registrations" because when it is on, no one can register as the registration screen goes blank.
Final question, is the Q&A for preventing bots registration available in 3.2.2?

Thank you.

PS I use prosilver, the only mod that I have is Advertisement Management and I have installed english and greek language.

Yes

A white page is generally an indication of a suppressed PHP error - check you server error logs for possible causes.

Thanks David,
where should I look for server error logs in the ACP?

If you mean the "maintenance">"Error log" there is nothing recent.

These are some logs from Plesk when I want to access to "Spambot counter measures"

Can you get at the spambot settings at all? I assume you can’t.

I can not Mick! Just a blank screen.

Clear your cache folder via ftp (delete all files and folder except index.html and .htaccess from folder cache)

Does phpbb/captcha/plugins/nogd.php exist and is not empty? If not re-upload the phpbb/captcha/ folder.

Patrick you found it!!! That was the culprit!!!
The phpbb/captcha/plugins/nogd.php existed (and all the other files in the folder) but was empty (0 Kb). I re-uploaded the nogd.php and everything works perfectly!!!

Thank you so much.
