I've been pulling my hair out today so hoping this one is something stupid I've overlooked.
I have been using CB Captcha on my site for a while now - no problems. Today I was working on a Test instance of my site and noticed that the Captcha image is no longer displaying. It is however fine in my Dev instance and my Live instance. The only difference I can see between the sites is when I turn on Chrome's developer tools and get the error on the Test instance of: "Resource interpreted as Image but transferred with MIME type text/html". This is the case wherever I load the Captcha - front end registration form, CB invites or back end CB Captcha plugin.
I'm using Joomla 2.5.4 and CB 1.8.1 on PHP5.3 with latest CB Captcha plugin installed. If you need to take a look at the Dev and Test sites please let me know and I'll PM you the URLs.
UPDATE: I tried changing Captcha images and sound mode config option to Joomla's index.php and it worked again. I then decided to copy the captchaindex.php from my other instance of CB and replaced the version in my non working Test site. That worked. It is now working again but I don't understand why given that both had the latest version of CB Captcha installed this afternoon. Can you shed any light on this? Is there a potential problem with upgrading CB Captcha?
Best I can guess is permissions issue or $live_site maybe incorrectly set in configuration.php. As long as 1 of the modes works it's fine.

All $live_site values are empty in configuration.php and permissions isn't an issue as I'm on a Windows server. Given that copying captchaindex.php from one site to the other produced a working CB Captcha I can only assume that the file was somehow corrupted during installation. Anyway - working now so thanks for getting back to me - just wanted to ensure that this was visible to anyone who might be having a similar problem in the future.
Hi team,
Sorry to re-open this post but I have the same problem. Captcha image does not appears and TYPE MIME notcie in the console of google chrome.
The problem is that I moved to configuration.php file indo a folder to protect it. So where do I have to modify somthing to help CB captcha image work correctly please ?
Edit CB Captcha within CB > Plugin Management and try setting it to use Joomla index.php.
