cognos 8 server is not starting

[arkumar]

I am trying to install COGNOS 8, I am unable to start COGNOS 8 server from the services. when I log in using the framework manger it is giving me an error "unable to access service  at URL". Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. I want to connect to  oracle database and create models but unable to do so.

Hi,

If you are unable to start the Cognos services, then that's your problem # 1. Unless the cognos server is up and running, Framework Manager would not function.

Can you provide any more error related info? What does your installation log say? Was content store populated?
