 * I’m having trouble installing this plugin. Following the instructions, I uploaded
   the plugin to my plugins directory. I created a “spell-plugin” folder and copied
   all the remaining files into it. I chmod that same folder to 755 and then to 
   666, but I’m still getting this message:
 * `Warning: main(/hsphere/local/home/galen5/familywebwatch.com/blog_test/wp-content/
   spell-plugin/spellInclude.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
   in /hsphere/local/home/galen5/familywebwatch.com/blog_test/wp-content/plugins/
   spell-plugin.php on line 36`
 * `Warning: main(/hsphere/local/home/galen5/familywebwatch.com/blog_test/wp-content/
   spell-plugin/spellInclude.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
   in /hsphere/local/home/galen5/familywebwatch.com/blog_test/wp-content/plugins/
   spell-plugin.php on line 36`
 * `Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/hsphere/local/home/galen5/familywebwatch.
   com/blog_test/wp-content/spell-plugin/spellInclude.php' (include_path='.:/usr/
   local/lib/php') in /hsphere/local/home/galen5/familywebwatch.com/blog_test/wp-
   content/plugins/spell-plugin.php on line 36`
 * What can I do?

 * Oh yeah, that message is coming up when I try to access my Plugins panel.

 * Where did you create this folder? If it’s not in `wp-content`, that’s likely 
   the issue.

 * I’m such a moron. 😛
 * Okay, I moved it to the _correct_ folder this time, but when I access the Options
   > SpellChecker panel I get a message telling me to chmod the spell-plugin directory
   to 755, but it is already 755.

 * To be clearer, this is the message I’m getting on the panel:
 * `FATAL: The temporary directory you specified is not writeable from the Apache
   task. Either select a different temporary directory (like "/tmp") or make the
   directory you specified writable by the Apache task (chmod 755 the directory).`
 * `FATAL: You forgot to make the personal dictionary directory writable. Please
   read the install instructions and chmod this folder to provide write privileges
   to the Apache task.`
 * I’m not much on chmod-ing, but I can tell you that even when it is set to 755
   it gives me that message. When I change it to 666, it gives me a “permission 
   denied” message instead of the panel.
 * Any thoughts?
 * I appreciate your help ColdForged.

 * Did you check to make sure that any folders INSIDE the spell-plugin folder are
   also 755 – like the temporary and personal dictionary ones? Sometimes chmod’ing
   the main folder won’t affect the internal ones.

 * I just looked. There are no other folders inside that one. 🙁

 * Hmm. The docs didn’t tell you to make those folders anywhere?

 * Well, as shown above, I missed the instruction on where to put the spell-plugin
   folder. But I’ve reviewed the instructions a few more times, and I don’t see 
   any other requirement to make another directory, although it does state that 
   I could make one if I wanted to. I just chose not to because it was optional.

 * I should just kill that warning :). Read [this](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/30452#post-173790)
   and see if it helps.

 * Thanks again, ColdForged. Changing it to 777 helped get me past the error message.
   Now I’m off to insert the code to have it show up in my comments form. 🙂
