This topic describes how to enable Mozilla to support the IBM download director program. The Support organization for IBM WebSphere Application Server provides the download director program. The download director program provides a higher level of reliability and usability for downloading service from the Support site.
Before you begin
You must enable Mozilla to support the download director program on Linux platforms. To enable Mozilla, you must download the correct Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for the browser and then configure the browser to use the JRE.
Why and when to perform this task
The download director program is available from IBM at the Support site for WebSphere Application Server. For more information, see the What is download director? site.Steps for this task
chmod a+x j2re-1_4_x_y-linux-i586-rpm.bin
./j2re-1_4_x_y-linux-i586-rpm.bin
rpm -iv j2re-1_4_x_y-linux-i586.rpm
The JRE is installed in the /usr/java/j2re1.4.x_y directory. The installation of the JRE is now complete.
cd Mozilla_install_root/plugins
ln -s JRE_install_root/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
For example, assume that the Mozilla Web browser is installed in the /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4 directory. Further assume that the JRE is installed in the /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_1 directory.
Results
You can enable Mozilla to use the download director program.
