# Authimage Plugin Help?

 * I’ve installed the Authimage plugin, and it appears I did it incorrectly. I’m
   just trying to get this thing setup and am already getting a zillion spam comments.
   I followed all of the destructions included in V2.02. You can see the problem
   I’m having if you go to the comments on [http://www.intricateart.com/journal](http://www.intricateart.com/journal)
   
   I’m getting a text box with what appears to be my 404 page within it. I am using
   the random text version of Authimage. (Trying to, at least!) I’ve gone through
   and double checked every single code, and I just don’t get what I did wrong. 
   Sorry, verrrry new to WordPress, I hope someone can help or direct me to the 
   right place. Thanks in advance!! Leanne

 * I was having similar problems with the AuthImage. I found that in the instructions
   in one particular area there was an extra preceding forward slash in the README.
   txt file that completely messed up the address.
    Change the code given in line#
   116 so that there is NO preceding forward slash. Instead of this: `<img src="/
   wp-content/plugins/authimage.php?type=image" width="155" height="50" alt="authimage"/
   >` it should read: `<img src="wp-content/plugins/authimage.php?type=image" width
   ="155" height="50" alt="authimage" />` If you are using the phoenetic English
   text listed in line #123, instead of this: `<iframe src="/wp-content/plugins/
   authimage.php?type=text" width="155" height="50" />` it should read: `<iframe
   src="wp-content/plugins/authimage.php?type=text" width="155" height="50" />` 
   Making this change (I use the image, not the phoenetic English) AuthImage is 
   the best killer of spam that I have found.

 * My host says that they have GD installed and that I’m free to use/install Freetype
   on my account, but the problem is that I don’t know how….?
 * I do not have shell access, and basically it seems that it’s down to putting 
   some files in a directory!?
 * I only have access to one directory below www and they use a proprietary customer
   interface with mainly ftp access. They do support Perl/CGI scripts as long as
   they have the .pl or .cgi extentions. Any ideas?
 * Help!!
