It really depends on the hosting setup. Some hosts give you root access and let you do your own thing, some are anal and require they do things their way. If you have a dedicated server, you should be able to install whatever you want, if it's a shared server, they will probably have to install it.

just installed it & I'm getting this error

I get this error when checking a PM every thing else is working fine!

I had got the same error. After some checkings, I noticed that PSpell was not compiled correctly with php. I did a re-compilation, and it got rid of the error after that. I compiled it initially with --enable-pspell, while it should have been --with-pspell instead. Check if you compiled it wrongly too.

I couldn't fix this problem here though, which was mentioned by Chris on Page 8 I think. The spellcheck ignores all the spacings and just inserts the text as a long paragraph when spellchecking, then outputs them as one long paragraph too. I tried re-uploading in Binary, or even saving it with VI, it just doesn't work. I am quite sure that it has to do with the codes of pulling the text from the text area.

no one is going reply?

It doesnt change the text when wysiwyg is used... =/ it does work for the standard/basic editor. Any idea on how to make it work correctly with the wysiwyg? (vb 3.0.3)

I've "installed" aspell and pspell, as directed, but it's not showing up on my PHP page. I didn't compile it, I don't think. Don't know how, lol.

Can anyone just write down some directions to compile pspell with php? I have root access, on an OS X server, running PHP 4.34

Thanks!

Little help please.

this is taken from the source of my spell window when it opens.

I've tried renaming 'en' to 'english' in custom.pws and that has had no effect. pspell is enabled. PHP version 4.3.3

It appears that the dictionary is screwed up.

I can't help with this, as I'm encountering the same problem. I've upgraded my PHP and aspell/pspell packages. Only to find out PHP no longer supports newer versions of aspell/pspell. So Instead of downgrading my PHP version and recompiling, I've switched to PHPSpell.

If I do find a way to make it work, I'll post the details, but for now, it's in the hands of pspell developers, as their name changes caused the PHP folks to not support newer version, from what I've read.

I'm using PHP v4.3.9 and it works fine for me.
