hello mcd930, java and javascript are two totally seperate technologies. could you be more specific where you're having this problem and what's the excat wording of any error message that you might receive? thanks
Ok, I'm trying to launch a java based console within my dediserve VPS. It tells me that it is an untrusted site (clearly not). Says security settings have blocked an untrusted application from running. Hope this helps
Update 51 ratcheted up the security on Java applets, so that unsigned applets that used to generate a warning are now completely blocked. Please see the following documentation from Oracle on your options:
- What should I do when I see a security prompt from Java?
- How can I configure the Exception Site List?
Does that work for the applet you need to run?
Make sure that JavaScript is enabled (javascript.enabled should be true) and isn't blocked.
You can open the about:config page via the location bar and you can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
