Login failed - requires captcha

Try logging in to your account normally from another computer. Then wait a little bit (few hours?) and see if it works then.

Unfortunately the script is on a server without a gui. So i tried using link2 to go to craigslist and login but it cant view the google captcha. Does anyone know of a way to view captchas in the terminal or get around it completely?

Do this:

1. On the server that's running the craigslist renew (assuming it's Linux), install/start squid (an HTTP proxy). In the steps below, I assume it's listening on port 3128 (or check the config file in /etc/squid/squid.conf)
2. On the computer you're using, start an SSH tunnel.
   • On Linux/Mac, you can run ssh -L 3128:localhost:3128 user@host
   • On Windows, get Putty, under Connection->SSH ->Tunnels, add 3128 as a forwarded port.
3. Open your browser, and configure it to use localhost:3128 as a manual proxy.
4. Log in to craigslist and solve the captcha

Let me know if that helps!

hey i'm having this issue too. i was testing the script to make sure it worked before planning to have it run in crontab in Terminal on Mac OSX.

i tried installing squid through Homebrew, but /etc/squid/squid.conf appears to not exist. also, do i need to add user to sudoers file to make the instructions you linked work? (as described here http://osxdaily.com/2014/02/06/add-user-sudoers-file-mac/)

i fear that i'm a bit out of my depth here technically!
