Hi,

our prod servers was cloned and now i need to configure the cognos in one of the prod server. when i configure, services gets started and there is no error. but when i use the URL or the dispatcher gateway to test it throws the error.

Shilpa,

This happens for couple of reasons.
Are you using IE  8 ? If yes then disable the XSS  filter.
Another important thing please check for the permissions and include the everyone in the
group with traverse permission. Hope it must work now.

Thank You for the response.

The problem was when i used to give the dipatcher url to test cognos  it used to throw this error.

I resolved the same by setting anonymous access to false.

Now another issue i face when i give the cognos exact url . when i type the URL, it says, internet explorer cannot display the webpage.

I went to IIS, and for cognos8 website changes the IP, port etc. still doesn't work... 

Another question which comes to my mind is , since this server is cloned one, sun one installation shows the other server name. Directory server etc. should this changed to the server name in which i have configured cognos?

Please help in understanding.

Yes . What you have understood is right sunone will be pointing to  your previous installtion . Change it to the new one. Even please check the disptcher URI in the gateway configuration file. Here problem is that the request from the gateway is not reaching the dispatcher.

Hi,

can anybody give me the steps to configure virtual directory in IIS version 6.0 for cognos8?

I deleted the cognos8 under default website and now want to add the cognos8 and cgi-bin.
However, i got some document, but i am unable to get "Add Virtual Directory" when i right click on the default website.

Please let me know the steps.

Thanks,

Hi Folks,

Any idea about the error as the parameter is incorrect in cognos8 website in IIS?

i configured the web content and cgi-bin, but it says the parameter is incorrect,
