Testing Cognos 11 install for potential upgrade from 10.2 ( Linux RHEL7 with Apache ).
Initially installed with Gateway component ( then without ) I'm coming up against this in my browser when I start the service and browse to http://<server>/ibmcognos/bi
A failure occurred while retrieving the installation environment.
Some features may not be available. The root cause is the following:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>404 Not Found</title> </head><body>
<h1>Not Found</h1>
<p>The requested URL /ibmcognos/bi/
v1/configuration/keys/Glass/installMode was not found on this server.</p> </body></html>
When I look on the server the <cognos home>/webcontent/bi/v1 folder simply doesn't exist ( which I would expect it too ).
Am I missing something totally obvious with the installation as this directory structure is simply missing ?

Hi,
That URL looks suspect to me. I'd expect to see a URL in the form
http://<server>:9300/bi/
If you need to use a gateway (and therefore a web server) there's a quite involved process to follow to set up the web server with appropriate redirects. Using the URL I suggested is a simple alternative...
Cheers!
MF.
