The Spell Checking Option ¶
MoinMoin looks for valid words in two places:
- the "dict" directory in the MoinMoin package directory
- the page LocalSpellingWords
Note that it may take a few minutes to build up this database, but only the first time the spellchecker is called. If your browser or the webserver timeouts before the file is completely built, one solution is to telnet into your webserver, and manually request the page[1].
BTW, a UNIX machine normally comes with at least one words file; to use those, create a symlink within the dict directory, like so:
MoinMoin/dict> ln -s /usr/dict/words .On some systems, the words file is found in "/usr/share/dict/words" instead.

If it doesn´t work ¶
If you change the contents of "MoinMoin/dict/" (because of adding new / removing old dictionaries) or if you create a new "MoinMoin/dict/" directory, then you have to delete the file "MoinMoin/wiki-moinmoin/data/dict.cache" (a new one will be created automagically).
If you don't, your new dictionaries won't be recognized (e.g. it will use only LocalSpellingWords). Another possible cause of problems is that you did not place the dictionaries in the active "MoinMoin" package directory, i.e. the one that is actually imported by your CGI script.
