JAVA PROBLEM

[Nobody's Hero]

HI All,

I have installed CiscoWorks 2000 on an L calss and after a lot of work, it is running fine. However, I installed netscape 6.01 on the L to connect to the web server running locally. When I go to Cisco web server everything looks fine except the login are which is grayed out. I get the message " This page contains information of a type (application/x-Java-VM) that can only be viewed with the appropriate plugin. I loaded jpi_131, but no help. Any idea what the appropriate plug in would be?


Thanks,
Bob Menefee

Well make sure you configured it... I find it awkward to configure..

Do other sites work?

Here's a link.

I am not sure how to even start to configure it. Do you know where? I think I have the right plug-in. Now I get an about. gethostbyname error. Am I missing something here. Do I need to configure hostname ?

Thanks,
Bob

Hi Robert,

gethostbyname errors are generated if your system is unable to do a hostname and ip resolution. Do a nslookup and check whether your hostname and ip's are resolved correctly. Are you using DNS ?.

nslookup
>System_name
>system_ip
>exit

Hope this helps.

Yes,
DNS knows who I am. Resolve does not seem to be an issue. I hate to leave a problem unsolved. I'm novice with web/java. Not sure how to configure. I was hoping the problem would vanish like the Taliban. Not sure where to go now. I do appreciate your help. DNS looks OK.

Hi Robert,

I'm sorry, but i'm also a novice as far as java/web are concerned. I have netscape on my servers but don't have any plugins configured on them. I'll try to do some test and will post a reply if i can come across something useful for you. Meanwhile i'm sure some other forum member will be in a position to help you.
