It’s been close to a week since I installed and got working the ReCaptcha plugin for phpBB2 and, so far, I haven’t had a single spam registration!

I think I discovered the source of my PHP error messages and problems. I looked in my system logs and saw that SELinux was blocking some of my stuff… I will have to figure out how to add rules to SELinux to keep it from blocking that.
At least I know what’s causing it…

In my quest to stop the spam registrations on my phpBB forums on my website (www.jordancronin.com) I decided to try ReCAPTCHA’s (free) CAPTCHA service. On their website, they have “plugins” for popular websoftware, including one for phpBB2. I tried following their installation instructions, but I keep getting in my Apache error logs “Failed to open stream: Permission denied” for the patched files. I have checked all of the permissions, and they aren’t any different than any of the rest of the files. I guess I’ll have to post on the ReCaptcha Google Group and see if I can get any help from there.
I’m also trying out Jinzora, but am getting lots of php errors in my apache logs – I don’t have time to post about that right now though…
As always, comments are welcome!
