I am having problems getting the WYSIWIG spell check funtion to work. Every time I try to use it, I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pspell_config_create() in /home/websites/mysource_matrix/fudge/wysiwyg/plugins/spell_checker/spell_parser.inc on line 165
Anyone have this problem also?
You need PHP compiled with Pspell support which requires Aspell and an at least one Aspell dictionary. You also need the PEAR XML_HTMLSax module installed.
wow, was all that listed in the installation docu? also, can I recompile php without screwing up my matrix install?

If you’re using RHEL4 or CentOS, you can just install the following RPMs:
php-pspell
aspell
aspell-en
aspell-devel
I suspect similar for Debian.
If not, you will need to recompile PHP, once you have the aspell libraries installed (PHP will require the aspell libraries to compile --with-pspell). You can compile PHP as often as you like. The only time you’d screw up Matrix is if you compiled PHP without a particular option that Matrix requires.
I have updated the Requirements page is updated with all the PHP requirements for Matrix. It may be a while before it updates due to cache settings. 
I guess I never realized that all those modules were required. Right now, the Matrix system that I built is for development only. But when we get ready to impliment the system for our college's website it will be for public us. I am just worried that I will not get all the correct modules, configurations, ect installed. I know the basic install, but I have found no documentation that outlines every step that needs to be done. All the components, everything. If I purchase support, will Squiz do my install for me? I am capable of doing it, but I would rather have the pros do it for me, and get it right.
You can absolutely get Squiz to do your install for you. Most of those requirements are either built-into or available as packages for our preferred distributions (Debian, Ubuntu or RHEL/CentOS).
Does Squiz support servers with Fedora installed?

We know that Matrix works on Fedora, but we don’t build packages specifically for that platform. We would need to rebuild some of our RPM packages for the newer versions of some software that ships on the later Fedora releases.
I highly recommend replacing Fedora with CentOS: Its still a Red Hat-based distribution (so everything feels the same) but its a binary recompile of the Red Hat Enterprise product, which gives you increased stability and software lifespan. Also, more selfishly, we have pre-built RPMs for RHEL4/CentOS4, which make working with that OS far simpler.
