WordPress MU

I just upgraded to version 1.2.1 and I am getting this error when trying to spell check using Internet explorer 6 or firefox.

I was not getting this error in version 1, spell checking worked perfect

I have read the posts about this error, and used google, but I can not figure out what to do. Everyone says their is a fix, but I cant seem to get mine working.

If there are no spelling errors I dont get this error, but if there are errors I get the above error message.

We're seeing the same thing on our install here, WPMU 1.2.3 ... has anyone else seen this?

Log out, clear your browsers file and cookie cache and try again. Something's probably clashing.

I see it, but I traced mine to not have pspell installed on the server. It's a php module in Apache.

Thanks Andrea, I'll check that tomorrow. Looks as though the spellcheck was attempting to use Google and since the machine still doesn't have access to the real world it was hanging & eventually timing out. pspell would be a useful alternative.

Can any clarify if this worked or not?

I’m running Wordpress MU 1.2.5a, apache 2 and Windows; when you click on the spell check button I get a dialogue box with the following error message “Could not execute AJAX call, Server didn't return valid a XML”.

Do I have to install a plug in for this to work or do I need to enable pspell module along with installing aspel?

I eventually tracked this down through my Apache error logs, because spellcheck worked on one install and not the other on the same server, so I knew eventually I had that covered. I think ultimately i had a file missing, although I can't quite remember.

I will also say that if you're running it on Windows that might also have something to do with it.

That Ajax error is returned as a generic error message when anything along the way encounters an oops. So you really have to check the logs to narrow it down.

I'm getting the following error in apache error.log

[code]
[Wed Oct 10 09:22:46 2007] [error] [client 10.*.*.*] WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'cat_' in 'order clause']\nSELECT * FROM wp_3_categories WHERE cat_ID > 0 AND link_count > 0 ORDER BY cat_ ASC \n, referer: http://myblog_address
[/code]

Could this be a big with 1.2.5a?

nope - I'm running 1.2.5a and I've no problems.

Its almost as if its loosing the ID part of the name. Have you edited the file at all? It might be worth downloading again and replacing the file

SteveAtty – when you say that your running 1.2.5a is that on Windows? And if so did you enable pspell?

Before installing on the server I tested by doing local installs on two separate windows machines, with clean downloads for each. All 3 of the Wordpress MU installations exhibit the same problem when the spell check icon is clicked.

I am running 2.3.1 and I saw the same error - I fixed it by modifying the config.php in
/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/spellchecker

as follows:

Removing the // comments from this line
require_once("classes/TinyPspellShell.class.php");

and adding comments to this line
// require_once("classes/TinyGoogleSpell.class.php");
