Does your application GUI require any special plugins to be installed within firefox or HP-UX? If so are they available for HP-UX and are they installed?

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom,

The application appears to use java. You may need the jvm (java virtual machine) plugins available at http://www.hp.com/go/java

This is kind of an RTFM issue, as you appear to have a custom add in to EMS.

My application needs java1.5 & Plugin for java1.5 also available in my server

why not just use a browser on your client(s)? i usually find any browser running on a server rather lacking.

I have tested with mozilla browser.It is working fine.I have a Problem with Firefox browser only.

But our requirement is only to use firefox.I do not have any issue like mozilla.

What version of firefox are you running?
What HP-UX version?

How is your window invoking firefox?

[Firefox in HPUX]

used firefox version is 2.0.0.4
my application will open by typing URL in firefox browser

[Firefox in HPUX]

HP-UX version is 11.11

There is a newer version available for HPUX, version 3.0.10.00;

How? By invoking another firefox and providing the URL?

It's maybe blocked by the popup blocker?

Hi,
I checked with popup blocker in firefox ,problem not yet solved

Sorry, but it doesn't make sense to use an HP-UX server for browsing. Why don't you use your windows/linux client machines? You could reach that side from a client machine without problems.

our requirement is to use HP-UX machine

This just says what it is suppose to do, not how it does it.
You can't do anything at the lowest level without a fork/exec or sending a message to a socket.

Using tusc to attach to your application may give you a clue on what system call is failing.
tusc -fp -ea -o tusc.out application-PID

You can kill that tusc if you have collected enough info in tusc.out.
