The Cognos servers were P2Ved to the client location, with new IP and Hostname. The same when configured in Cognos Configuration works only with IP/loclal host and not with Host name (url). I am able to login to the cognos connection with Host Name but goes BLANK, and if Cognos Config is configured with IP/localhost the connection works.
Please advise on this.
How is your web server configured?
Meep, how do we check that ?
It depends what web server you are using. Is it IIS? Apache? Something else? Take a look through the instructions for configuring your web server in the Installation and Configuration Guide - Chapter 5, and the section entitled "Configuring the web server"

It is IIS, as I said I can see the logon page with servername/ip in the url and when i pass the credentials it goes blank. If its a websever issue then logon page should also error out, your thoughts?
Note: This happens when Configuration URLs are set with server name instead of IP
have you added the url (hostname) to your browser trusted sites?
Try via telnet.
