how do I install Java 6 on Mojave

My blog software, Contribute 6.5, tells me I need Java 6 in order to connect to and edit my blog. I can't find a way to get Java 6 for Mojave. Is there a way?

Java 6 on Mojave I have updated to OSX Mojave and now I can't install java 6 on my macbook. I need this java version for an old app. Anyone who knows where to find this java version? I have tried to download legacy Java SE 6 from Apple, but it won't install on Mojave.

Newly downloaded Legacy java will not install after Mojave update. How can I correct this? Upgrade to Mojave lost my ability to use Photoshop and InDesign. I live in a rural location with an unpredictable connection so any cloud based programs are at best unreliable to use for working. Most software downloads and updates have to occur when I am in a city near a reliable connection as this is not anticipated to change here for some years to come.The Apple support page suggests I can follow a download link and then install legacy java 6 to overcome this. It appears to download fine and also seems to complete the installation process but does not appear to have actually installed despite several attempts and reboots.

Hi John and WordWeaver777 - I rreally appreciate the fact you are still digging. However, I'm alarmed that when DreamWeaver 777 tried to get my blog he found nothing there but a promise of something to come. My blog contains hundreds of posts and even more photos. I don't know what is going on. Firefox tells me they're preventing anyone from connecting because they're afraid someone will steal my stuff. I'm calling the woman who set the blog up for me. I'll let you know what she says.

As I said, it is because the web server you use is misconfigured, beginning with an invalid security certificate which does not cover your domain name. Unless that woman has somehow screwed up your data on her server, or whoever's server it is, the data should still be there, meaning all of your blog posts should still be intact. It is just a matter of her straightening out the SSL certificate on her end, and anything else that may be misconfigured. Don't fret just yet.

Hi WordWeaver, I got hold of my blog's creator. She looked at the situation and said she can switch me to WordPress and include my complete archives. It's costing some money, but despite the help you and John gave me, I couldn't make the switch myself.

Again my thanks for your efforts. Grier

You are welcome, Grier. I suspect that you are no doubt relieved that you won't lose any of your blog posts. Trust me, I know the feeling.Two years ago I lost five years worth of blog posts on my WordPress blog due to corruption in my mySQL database.

And Leroy, WordWeaver is right. I don't know anything about HTML code.

Sorry, that one sentence got messed up, and I could no longer edit it. It was supposed to say:

"In other words, you can have all three domain names in the same SSL certificate, if need be."

That's a serious loss, WordWeaver. All those posts down the drain. Maybe we'll be talking again sometime.

Well, all one can do in a case like that is pick oneself up and carry on. :)
