I need to run a Java-enabled Firefox on my CentOS4.1-powered laptop and it *was* running fine. Then yesterday I up2date'd the box and Firefox went from 1.0.4 to 1.0.6. And I lost Java. I can't seem to re-install it, whether from the original (1.5.0 I think it was) or the latest downloads. This is crucially important as I need to access my Dell RAC. Can anyone advise how to get Java back. At the moment, I have had to reboot my laptop into Redmond-ware :-((( TIA John John Logsdon "Try to make things as simple Quantex Research Ltd, Manchester UK as possible but not simpler" j.logsdon at quantex-research.com a.einstein at relativity.org +44(0)161 445 4951/G:+44(0)7717758675 www.quantex-research.com

How did you enable "Java plugin"? - it works out of "box" after java install - you had to link it to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ Petr Kl?ma e-mail: petr.klima at madeta-group.cz MADETA Group a.s. phone: +420 389 136 209 Rudolfovsk? 246/83 web: http://www.madeta-group.cz 370 50 ?esk?

I'd suggest making sure you have a link to the java plugin in the proper directory, in my case (running mozilla with an old beta 1.5 java SDK - but it should be much the same for firefox (which uses mozilla/plugins directory if I'm not mistaken) and any newer java version)... ls -al /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 59 Jun 6 2004 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/java/jdk1.5.0/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so Cheers, MaZe.
