If you set ConfirmEdit to FancyCaptcha mode you will get an HTTP 500 error if you attempt any operation involving a captcha such as creating a new account. If you look in FancyCapthca.class.php you will see it includes a call to getWikiId. The FSFileBackend class does not have that method in 1.20, although the trunk version does. The Apache error_log confirms that the failure is due to an attempt by FancyCaptcha.class.php to call FSFileBackend::getWikiId.

taking.
Was this ever fixed? Can this be closed as 1.20 is no longer the supported release? Side note: What will be done to make sure this doesn't happen again, I had this problem when I upgraded a few sites I look after.
I'm closing this as 1.20 is obsolete and unsupported now. Please add a comment if this is still a problem in a supported version.
