"A potential server error occurred during spell check. See your Domino administrator." (on spell check in web mail)

Just upgraded server from 8.5 to 8.5.2 by installing 8.5.2 over the existing install. Everything worked well but spell checking from a browser results in “A potential server error occurred during spell check. See your Domino administrator” displayed in the message bar.

Is there some setting somewhere that I have to configure on the server? I have looked and I can’t seem to find anything to configure and these error messages aren’t found anywhere either!

The following is in the console (of the browser):

"Domino Release 8.5.2 (Windows NT/Intel)

Subject: solved

I deleted and reinstalled everything, that seemed to work. sigh.

Actually, now that I think about it, it took less than an hour to install Server, Symantec & Traveler.

Subject: 8.5.2 spell check and HTTPDisable=1

although you have it solved you just reinstalled

I found that 8.5.2 spell check not working because it requires java to run, in previous versions (8.5.x) if java was disabled it just continued on with no error. Now it errors and stops.

So in the INI file on the server you probably had something like.

HTTPDisableJVM=1

which disables java, you would of notice a JVM error when HTTP was starting…

doing a ‘set config HTTPDisable=’ in the console then a ‘restart task http’ will get it going with out reboot

at least it worked for me after that.
