    firefox not loading applets

    Hi, I am at a loss, I won't toot my own horn, I'm just a stupid bloke who can't get it.
    I downloaded and installed java1.6.0_02
    I did the following :
    Code:
    [joe@localhost ~]$su - root 
    [root@localhost joe]# cd /usr/local/src/
    [root@localhost src]# mv jre
    jre-6-linux-i586.bin    jre-6u2-linux-i586.bin  jre1.6.0_02/            
    [root@localhost src]# mv jre1.6.0_02/ /opt/
    [root@localhost src]# ln -sf /opt/jre1.6.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
    [root@localhost src]# ln -sf /opt/jre1.6.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.5/plugins/
    [root@localhost src]# ls -ladh /opt/jre1.6.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.5/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so 
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 134K 2007-06-15 08:28 /opt/jre1.6.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   53 2007-10-02 03:18 /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.5/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /opt/jre1.6.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   53 2007-10-02 03:17 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /opt/jre1.6.0_02/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
    [root@localhost src]#
    I logout of X session, restart X, go to firefox and it shows up in about: plugins in the address bar ..... there it says it is installed. However, it does not load applets.

    Also, yes, I have turned on java in the browser.

    Hello did you configure it

    /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java
    select 2

    Unhappy

    Code:
    [root@localhost joe]# ln -sf /opt/jre1.6.0_02/bin/java_vm /usr/bin/java_vm 
    [root@localhost joe]# ls -lah /usr/bin/java_vm 
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2007-10-02 17:01 /usr/bin/java_vm -> /opt/jre1.6.0_02/bin/java_vm
    I've changed the "alternatives" setting repeatedly. I just overwrote the file with a symbolic link this time. I'm truly lost without my java VM

    Try

    Code:
    su
    rm -rf /opt/jre*
    rm /usr/bin/java_vm
    Then install the java rpm

    Code:
    su
    wget http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=11283
    yum -y install compat-libstdc++* 
    sh ./jre*.bin
    ln -sf "$(rpm -ql jre|grep plugin|grep ns7/|grep \\.so$)" /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
    /usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java $(rpm -ql jre | grep bin/java$) 2
    /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java
    and select the jre version
