I tried all the possible ways but I couldn't get the cognos connection in server2. The error is
HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
Most likely causes:
•   The directory or file specified does not exist on the Web server.
•   The URL contains a typographical error.
•   A custom filter or module, such as URLScan, restricts access to the file.
Things you can try:
•   Create the content on the Web server.
•   Review the browser URL.
•   Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code and see which module is calling SetStatus. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here.

Hi,

So you installed the gateway only on Server 1? If you didn't install a gateway on Server 2, you're not going to be able to connect to Cognos using a web server on Server 2, as the web server hands requests off to the gateway and the gateway needs to be on the same machine as the web server. You need either to install the gateway component on Server 2, or else connect using the web server on server 1.

Cheers!

MF.
