Go to http://www.hp.com/go/mozilla and download both the mozilla browser and the GTK libraries if you don't have them already. Then it's simply a matter of using swinstall against those downloaded depots.

Why would you want mozilla when you can have firefox?

Frnds, i want to download them on Unix terminal, not in my windows machine. How can i download via the link that u provided? What is that command?

For EG: In Linux we have YUM to download files n install.

You mean you have no browser at all available on your unix machine? Usually at the very least Netscape is installed. Look under /opt and see if you don't have a netscape, mozilla or firefox directory.

Alternatively you can download the mozilla or firefox install files on your windows or linux browser and ftp the downloaded file(s) to your HP-UX server. You then use swinstall to install the downloaded files.

Then you will need to follow the advice from TTR: download on your windows machine and ftp to your unix box.

Hi:

I agree with everything that has been said thus far. You really need FireFox. You really need to download to your PC with its browser and then FTP the depot to your UNIX box for installation.

You need the GTK libraries as you found. Get everything you need here:

I checked in SAM -> SD-UX. Under Installed software i can see Firefox and GTK, so i have the software install, but i cant use the BROWSER. I need your help in configuring the browser.
Also i have attached the screen-shot.

>Under Installed software I can see Firefox and GTK,

I would toss that (1.5) as obsolete. The latest is 2.0.0.19.02.

Have you set up your DISPLAY variable?

No I haven't and i have no idea about Display variable...could you guide me through?

From where do you access this server? Windoze or linux pc? Something else?

Re: How to Install Mozilla Browser

Windows XP via Putty

So you need a XServer on that PC, e.g. XMing.

Start this application on your PC, then connect to the server,

> putty -X

Why i need to use Xming to configure firefox??

Re: How to Install Mozilla Browser

Torsten. — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 05:24:12 GMT

You need a XServer running on your PC in order to display the X windows or any GUI application.

I use RSA Authentication Private key to login to HPUX box. Is there any X-Server which supports that?

You should first read some lines in order to understand what a XServer does.

Did you try with putty and xming?
