I totally can not get Java to run

[jimbrown]

Hi

Last question (I promise). I have for months now, attempted to get Java installed and running on my RedHat 9.1 box and it's been an effort in futility. Even when I use the "plugin finder" from Netscape's site, it always downloads and then tells me "permission denied" - even when I do this from root. What's more is that when I install the BIN file and go that route, I'm STILL not able to run Java applications either through a website or locally. I've about given up on this but thought I'd give it one more shot if any of you geniouses out there care to help a frustrated old man:-).

Thank's!

Have you searched the JL forums for i.e. 'java plugin path' etc. and tried any of those suggestions?

The topic is very popular here and we also have a couple of JL Help Files on configuring Java.

once you get java installed and your paths correct, you may need to reinstall your webrowser in order for it to use the java, you may be able to just enable it though, but i have never gotten it to work that way, just do as instructed above, follow the docs and posts, if you still cant get it, post back and we will try to help
