flash player installation...
 

hi,
im not able to see flash player pages even though flash palyer 7 is installed in my fedora core 5 system.
when im opening any site it asks me to install plug-ins and shows me that flash player is installed.but flash pictures dont open.
im using firefox version 1.5.0.1
any suggestion pls

thanks

First, find out which is your firefox directory and check under its "plugins" folder.

Mine looks like:

$ ls -l /opt/firefox/plugins/*flash*

total 2080
-rwxr-x--- 1 ico640 ico640 856 2004-05-20 23:34 flashplayer.xpt
-rwxr-x--- 1 ico640 ico640 2096844 2004-05-20 23:34 libflashplayer.so

You must have those two files placed there.
Maybe your Fedora installation installed them elsewhere?

Check it out.

You can always ask Firefox which plugins has installed, by issuing "about:config" within the URL bar.

i have installed flashplayer in RH 9 and it was working fine.
there are 3 different directories:
/usr/lib/mozilla
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.12
/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.1
and i have installed flashplayer in all the folder separatly and checked after successfull installation.But it didnt work.
do i need to install mozilla firefox again.
