Question Java Applets not showing in Firefox Centos 5.7


Hi there,

I am running Centos 5.7 Final with Kernel version: Linux mynode.network.co.uk 2.6.18-274.12.1.el5.centos.plus #1 SMP Tue Nov 29 18:16:47 EST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have downloaded the new RPM from Java here: http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/downlo...BundleId=56689

I then did the instructions like so:

Quote:
locate libnpjp2.so
Which outputted:
Quote:
/usr/java/jre1.6.0_29/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
So then I moved the the Mozilla plugins folder:
Quote:
cd /usr/lib64/mozilla/
And entered the following:
Quote:
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_29/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
Even did it in the:
Quote:
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_29/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
But nothing works, am I missing something at all here?

If someone could help that would be brilliant I am out of ideas, even thought it might be me using the 64bit but tried both and still nothing, I wanted to try and develop some applets, getting bored of commandline applications but I wanted to show them on a website, but obviously unable to do so if I can't get it working in Firefox.

Any replies are massively appreciated!

Thank you aswell for reading,
Jeremy.

Could you paste the link to the instructions that you have used? Also, in firefox, type "about:config" in the address bar, without the quotes, and see if the library is even being loaded. If it is not, then you may have to run "alternatives" to reflect the relative path to the java library.
