By default the recaptcha plugin is enabled and has no API key supplied.
Therefore anytime any component, plugin etc. calls the recaptcha plugin, it
throws a 500 error and crashes rather than throwing a notification.

Probably the better idea is to disable the recaptcha plugin by default, and
when people enable it they can then supply the keys required.

however, it needed the other databases as well.
