Hi All,
I'm installing cognos 8.2 on a new machine. The configuration is windows xp pro and IIS 5.1.
I installed the oracle server on the same machine. Installed cognos 8.2 and then tested with http://localhost/cognos8. It was working fine. after that i installed framework manager and restarted the machine and then opened http://localhost/cognos8. It's giving me HTTP 404 page not found error. I couldn't understand what the problem was . i thought it might be the problem with CGI. but i couldnt find any option where to enable it in IIS 5.1 with XP. and my doubt is it was working earlier before i restarted the machine.
Added to that i tested the framework manager before the restart.
it's giving me an error when creating a data source saying that
QE-DEF-0285 Logon failure. QE-DEF-0325 The cause of the logon failure is: QE-DEF-0068 Unable to connect to at least one database during a multi-database attach to 1 database(s)
i tried all the options in cognos support. But none of them are working.
I actually installed and conofugred cognos a lot of times before. This is the first time i'm getting this kind of error.
can some one please tell me , if i'm missing some thing.
i'll also try to upgrade to IIS 6 today.
i think my http://localhost/cognos8 may work after the upgrade. But i'm much concerned abt the error in FM.
i know that it is because i'm using oracle server on the same mahine...
Please help me in this.
Thanks in Advance
Did you install FM to the same directory?
No i installed it in a different directory with a different name .
Strange thing is my cogserver.log isn't showing any errors for the page not found.
It's only showing the error for FM.
Ok guys , i solved the problem .....
Just for the update ...
XP comes with IIS 5 ....
i just changed the default port number to 81 and turned off the cognos application firewall .
Everything is working fine now .
thanks for the response cognosie Administrator.

If I may ... was there another web server present? And how does one get IIS6 for XP? Is there a download available?
Cheers.
Oracle 9.2 server installs Apache for its management functions and grabs port 80.
Sorry, IIS 6.0 is not available for win XP. yeah, apache might be using port 80. thats y it gave me error :)
I knew there was a reason for my hate towards wizards and defaults. I want full control! ;D
