Error: Help! "Neither the ispell or spell commands needed to check for dictionary words is installed"

This has never happend before, and I'm not sure how to fix it. When I go to create a new virtual server I get this error

"Failed to create virtual server : Neither the ispell or spell commands needed to check for dictionary words is installed"

How do I fix this?

Any help would be appreciated!

Howdy,

Did you by chance enable a feature in Webmin that has it testing the password to see if it's a good password?

That could cause the error you're seeing, if the dictionary testing commands aren't available.

You can solve that by installing either of the two commands it mentioned though.

If you're not sure how to do that, let us know what distro you're using and we can offer an example of how to do that on your distro.

Hi Eric,

Thanks so much for your reply. That was exactly it, another person on the team changed the password restrictions. Really appreciate the reply!
