Couldn't get the Flash plugin to work on Fedora (FB didn't even pickup the plugin)....& although I did read this, didn't bother trying it out. After breaking my head over it for almost an hour, installed the compat-libstdc++ package, & bingo...flash works.
Off now to see what I messed up httpd.conf for it to give me a 403 for anything in htdocs. Won't even display the directory contents.....
