Flash plugin wont install

[GreatDane]

Hello,

I have recently installed XAMPP on Fedora Core 5 and tried to run the Flash Art only to be told that i was missing the Macromedia Flash Plugin.

Firstly i tried downloading a plugin through firefox - and even though this said it had been installed, when i refreshed the page it said it was still missing.

Next i downloaded the Flash 7 pugin from the macromedia site and followed the install instructions. I wasn't too sure where to install it to, so i simply installed it to all three of the following locations (testing the plugin, with no luck each time).:

/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.12/
/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.1/
/usr/lib/mozilla/

After all of this my firefox browser still claims its missing the Flash plugin! What do people suggest i try next?

Cheers

1. What is the exact error message.
2. What does the /opt/lampp/logs/error_log say about it?
