Minimum requirements for Classic Captcha was created by Demis [Fox-Labs]
"Classic captcha function was disabled since your server lacks minimum requirements"
It means that your server isn't able to draw captcha images because GD or FreeType libraries are not installed.
Solution
Install php GD extension and FreeType library, or ask your administrator to do it for you.
Instructions for a debian/ubuntu server:
# sudo apt-get install php5-gd libfreetype6
See also recompiling apache posted by Paul.
Note that after you installed GD and FreeType libraries, Fox Contact can't detect it until you force another check by reinstalling or upgrading Fox Contact .
Further details
Check the installation log at yourserver-address/logs/foxcontact-install.txt.
In a standard environment it should apprear similar to this one:while without GD extension it should appear similar to this oneand without FreeType library it should appear similar to this one
