Aspell in PHP

[SteveC]

Apparently pspell doesn't work in the Update Apache recompile, so that's out. What I need is to enable support of Aspell in PHP so I can use it to spell check submitted web forms. I have only ever recompiled Apache/PHP via the WHM. How can I add Aspell support to PHP? I'm a newbie when it comes to recompiling. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Never mind. I figured it out.

Would love to hear what you figured out.

I couldn't get it to compile until I removed that module.. what was your fix?

[SteveC]

You can't recompile it with pspell/aspell with cPanel/WHM. You have to upload the PHP source to your server and compile it the old fashioned way.

Hi,

I just found out same thing, I have pspell and psell-devel and it will not compile it. I get the right results but will not load no matter what....

Easy apache ends with this:

./build install

Check out the configure line:

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-xml --enable-bcmath --enable-calendar --with-curl --enable-ftp --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local --with-png-dir=/usr --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 --with-imap --with-imap-ssl --with-kerberos --with-mcrypt --with-mhash --enable-magic-quotes --with-mysql=/usr --enable-discard-path --with-pear --with-pspell --enable-sockets --enable-track-vars --with-ttf --with-freetype-dir=/usr --enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-versioning --with-zlib

Here it is now on my php info page:

'./configure' '--prefix=/usr' '--with-xml' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--with-curl' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6' '--with-imap' '--with-imap-ssl' '--with-kerberos' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-mhash' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--enable-discard-path' '--with-pear' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-versioning' '--with-zlib'

Shows no error as you can see above but it devours all these options!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would acuse of easyapache not working right How can it output a different confiugre line and restart and then another shows up? These four are missing though they show compiled:

--with-pspell
--with-ttf
--with-freetype-dir=/usr
--enable-gd-native-ttf

No errors prior also!!!!! I have aspell installed and so on...

Been only trying with 4.3.3 as this works great on the other boxes....

Not sure if anyone ran into this also....


My systems is:

WHM 9.4.0 cPanel 9.4.1-C53
RedHat 9 - WHM X v3.1.0

Tried release also... no luck

I was told this also

All I can see is:
Under PHP's compile it has this:
...
Configuring extensions
...
checking for PSPELL support... no
...

That tells me that your PHP/aspell don't have that support available. You may need to ask the PHP community or some PHP folks on our forums what could be causing whatever incompatibility issue you are having.

I have pspell, pspell-devel, aspell and aspell-devel...

root@server02 [/home/cpapachebuild/buildapache]# /scripts/ensurerpm --safe pspell

Seems like manual configure will have to do, bummer...

[denisdekat09]

ran easyapache by hand instead of whm and all worked good

'./configure' '--prefix=/usr' '--with-xml' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--with-curl' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6' '--with-imap' '--with-imap-ssl' '--with-kerberos' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-mhash' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--enable-discard-path' '--with-pear' '--with-pspell' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-versioning' '--with-zlib'

WHM did not take any of my changes, just ran all the recompile and nothing

I am a total newbie to this. Could you please explain how you were able to compile ASpell into PHP.

I am running on FreeBSD. Any help would be great!

Thanks

[denisdekat09]

Here is how I do it...

First under software I make sure I have the pspell RPMs installed.

Then, run /scripts/easyapache and select versions 6 (you can update apache via whm it is similar and easier).

Under the php submenu select the pspell module, and compile away...

I found that when I do this it tends to work for me
