I hope someone can help or explain this. I configured the Cognos Gateway to use the Apache Web Server Module as documented in the Installation and Configuration Guide. I am using Cognos BI 8.3 and IBM HTTP Server 6.0.2 on Windows.
After making these changes, a browser pointing to the URL http://localhost/cognos8 asks me if I want to open the cognos.cgi file or save it. This URL worked prior to this change. It used to foreward me to the Cognos welcome page.
But if I use the URL http://localhost/cognos8/cgi-bin/cognos_module or http://localhost/cognos8/cgi-bin/cognos_module?b_action=xts.run&m=portal/welcome/welcome.xts everything appears to work just fine.
Is this normal, or have I missed something in httpd.conf? Any comments are appreciated.
