Free Spellchecking is Here · **Released**: 04-13-2002

There has been a PERL script out for some time that allows you to make use of aspell libraries that you can have installed on your server with PHP.

I have also included a text file that has the javascript that you insert into your editpost, newthread and newreply templates to add spell checking to your forums. The edited text is then inserted into the original document when submitted.

You need to have a cgi-bin, or similar directory, set up on your server and the aspell or ispell libraries for PHP on your server. (Do a look up for aspell or ispell on google, etc. on these libraries if you don't know about them.)

If someone wants to look over the enclosed PERL script and write it in PHP that would be great and make it to were you didn't have to have PERL on your server.

Enjoy!

Yeah, I tried that.

I sent a ticket to my host, and apparently they don't have aspell and would charge me extra for installing it.

that's weak. I'd find another host and tell them exactly why you are switching.
Our shared host has the aspell stuff loaded in at no extra cost. Email me if you want the details, thanks.

I am trying to get this setup, have the latest version 2.5i from the site. I can run the ./spell.pl just fine, it just displays a bunch of HTML, no errors or anything. But I get the Internal Server error as others have gotten. Everything is configured correctly permissions wise, tried 755 & 777, check the apache conf file for ScriptAlias, perl paths and aspell all correct.

Error_log: Premature end of script headers: spell.pl
Access_log: "GET /cgi-bin/spell.pl HTTP/1.1" 500 514 "-" "

Running it from the command line, I get no errors whatsoever. However, via Apache... the above error shows up.

Any other suggestions?!

Did you first download spell.pl to your home computer? If so, verify that the spell.pl file has proper UNIX line-ending characters, and not Windows/Mac line ending characters. That is one thing that could cause the error you're getting.

I should have mentioned I covered that aspect too.

It runs great on the command line, just not via apache.

wuts the chance of getting this to work with rc4

I know I'm probably just an idiot, but what is a shebang line? Where is it?

"Be sure to check the shebang line of the spell.pl file to make sure that it is pointing to the correct location for perl on your server."

I'm lost.

Any chance to implement this in vB 3.0 ???
Sure would love to have it

Any chance of an update so it will work with 3.0.7?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
