Unable to display Workspace background

[hansi]

Hi,
I'm trying to incorporate a .jpg image into my background, but I'm getting an error :
The content cannot be displayed
The URL address is unavailable. To fix this provide a valid URL address in the Properties

Initially, I'm trying to store something locally on my server, so i should be able to store in "webcontent" directory, right?

Can someone give me a full example pathname where I should store & then Cognos should pick up ??

Thanks in advance!

Hi Hansi,
To access images stored in Cognos server , directory should have access rights. Generally we store images in webcontent/samples/images folders but this can be customised . Check your Webserver documentation for enabling this location access.
For validating the image URL , try loading the URL in your browser first using http://<server>:<port>/<cognosDir>/<imagePath>/<imageFileName>.jpg

Revert if you still faces issues to access the image.

Assuming your images are directly in the Webcontent folder, your image URL could simply be ../<imagename>

Have you tried this?
