installing cognos 8

[mdesouza]

Hi all

I am new to cognos , andtherefore tried installing cognos 8 for the first time. Started cognos configuration successfully but cant connect using the web browser.

I know I have to set up a web server , but I cant find any documentation telling me how to set it up and configure it.

Can someone point me in the right direction , ie setup notes and what configuration i need to do

thanks
Mike

For the web server:

1. Create a virtual directory called "cognos8" and point it to C:\Program Files\cognos\c8\webcontent
2. Create a virtual directory called "cgi-bin" in the virtual directory you created in step 1, and point it to C:\Program Files\cognos\c8\cgi-bin. Grant execute permissions.
