WordPress MU

ok I know you guys get a lot of people asking this but please bear with me. I've searched the WP.org forums and most of the time the problem seems to be that php hasn't been configured with curl and ssl. I have curl and ssl configured on php and the spell check still isn't working.

there aren't any messages in the error log so I don't really know where the error is. I've tried copying the function from googleSpell.php into another file and it seemed to work fine using both methods (curl and fsockopen) I really don't know what else to do so if anyone can help I'd be very grateful

ok I found a fix here

Glad that there are still people capable of helping themselves ;)

In addition I'd suggest that you use curl and forget about fsockopen.

Just out of curiosity, why didn't the script work with the encoding header? it can't be because the browser doesn't recognise the encoding...or is it?

edit: should i submit a bug and fix in the trac?

I'm not sure that it's WPMU related stuff...
It may be server-side or browser-side issue.

Wow, It appears I can answer questions on this forum, without actually answering the question on the forum :)

@Hazardcell: I don't think it's WPMU related, and it certainly isn't browser (or computer) specific as I had the same problem on PC's, Mac's, IE, Firefox and Safari.

The only thing I could think about was the web-server config (I'm running Litespeed). I'm sure the reasons will come to light soon enough, but for now I'm just happy it's finally working.

Well then, i guess it is related to the web server coz I'm using litespeed as well =)

It may well be a Litespeed issue. See here for a similar problem (though not WordPress related):
