how to make java work on firefox 1.0(not PR)??

**The_Dark_Destructor** · 11-10-2004

Hi today i have installed firefox 1.0 the stable version(is out from the 11-9) not the preview.
Yeah,the browser is greath

but there's a problem:i cant make java work on it.
I have installed the j2sdk 1.4.2_05 and i have correctly setted the java_home and the path but the broeser is unable to interpreter the java code.

I try to follow the steps defined into the mozilla faq but... it dosent work.
the link is that:

http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/faq.html#q2.2

Any suggestion idea is well accepted.
Tnks for the attention.

Are you sure you copied usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so to the correct directory?

What's the error you get when viewing a java page?

Sorry now i'm a bit tired and i have created a new topic and not only a reply... i'm really sorry...

Yes im sure abot that.
I have put it in [my firefox installation path]/plugins.

When i open a page firefox simply can't interpreter java and it simply say that need a plugin(as well as well if the plugin is not installed).
..and when it try to find it from the mozilla site says that i have to install it manually.

I don't know what else i can do.
Thanks for you reply.

You usually have to link using "ln" the directory where you installed java to the directory plugins used by firefox. Let me look if i can come up with the exact line in my case i had to write. I just have to surf backwards on a terminal and i'll get back to you.

Found it, maybe this will help:

ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_06/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

I don't use firefox, but maybe the same thing can be applied.

**The_Dark_Destructor** · 11-11-2004

That is exactly what i have done.
I have created the link with ln -s as well as you described to me.and put it in my plugin directory but it dosen't work!(This are the instruction desribed in the mozilla F.A.Q)

what is the broweser you are using?
I can try with it if you tell me that you have no problem with the java application...
thank you...

I can't understand why it dosen't work under firefox too!!That ere the instruction from the official site.i'm really frustated

**jeremy1701** · 11-11-2004

Often times, there are several paths to firefox. It's possible that you didn't create the link in the correct directory. For example, I have /usr/lib/mozilla, /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4, /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox. Can you show us the output of

Code:

ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla*

It may not be /usr/lib, if it isn't, replace it w/ where ever your mozilla installs.
Thanks,
Jeremy

The output of the code is that:

and i have created the link in this directory [my home]/firefox/plugins/

i wait your response hopefull.

This looks like the output of /usr/lib/mozilla/*, not /usr/lib/mozilla*. Regardless, is this the /usr/lilb/ directory or the ~/ directory? (note ~/ is your home directory).

Either way, you have libjavaplugin_oji.so here when it should be in the plugins directory. Is it also in the plugins folder? What is the output of

Code:

ls -l /home/&#123;whatever user you have install firefox under&#125;/firefox/plugins

the output now is:

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 the_dark the_dark    63 nov 10 23&#58;06 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /j2sdk1.4.2_05/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
-rwxrwxr-x  1 the_dark the_dark 18840 nov  7 13&#58;27 libnullplugin.so*

yes i made a mistake,i copied the plugin in the firefox home too.
but the plugin is in the plugin folder too

**jeremy1701** · 11-11-2004

hmmm...

It would seem that maybe firefox isn't using that directory. Do you also have a firefox directory somewhere else on you system (like /usr/lib)?
