Hi,

Your question is extremely vague. From the description of the error I'm guessing you are trying to implement Apache web server access from Cognos 10? Or is it IBM HTTP server? You haven't told us, though, nor have you told us what version of Apache/HTTP Server you are trying to implement. You haven't told us what version of Cognos you are using either. Or what platform(s) it's installed on. You haven't told us how your gateway is configured either. How can you expect anyone to help you "resolve this in detail" if nobody but you knows your environment?

If I was making a wild guess based on your error and an assumption that it's Cognos 10.2 and Apache 2.2, I'd suggest you take a look at the following technote:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21625467

MF.

I'm getting exactly the same error with my system.  On starting the httpd service:

Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 1012 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/httpd/conf/cognos.conf: Cannot load /opt/ibm/cognos/c10_64/cgi-bin/mod2_2_cognos.so into server: libhttpdap2_stub.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

My environment is based on CentOS 6 with Apache HTTPD.  I'm using Cognos 10.2.1 64-bit.

I can verify that the file mod2_2_cognos.so is present in the expected directory.  Permissions are set to RWXRWXR-X.  Permissions don't appear to be the issue.

Can anybody help shed any light on this?

Hi,

Did you check out the technote I linked to above? Have you run the copyGateMod shell script with the relevant argument?

Cheers!

Yes, sorry, I should have said.  I did do that, although the error is not the error that is mentioned in that Technote. 

Still, I run the script, restarted HTTPD and got the same error.

thanks!

Hi,

There are some detailed steps to follow to be able to use Apache-Mod, and these are listed in the Installation and Configuration Guide. First you need to add the path of your cgi-bin directory to the end of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, then edit httpd.conf and make some detailed changes to it.

Take a look at page 97 onwards (Use compiled gateways for production systems) and work through this step-by-step:

http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/data/cognos/documentation/docs/en/10.2.1.1/inst_cr_winux.pdf

If you're still having issues after this, post back with the relevant errors you see.

Good luck!!

MF.

Hi,

Something else worth bearing in mind is this note from the guide above:

Important: You cannot use the Apache modules with the version of Apache Server
2.2 that is supplied with Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5.3 and later.

I googled CentOS, and it is a distro based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, so I'm assuming this note is also applicable to CentOS.

Cheers!

Thanks for that.  RTFM is always good advice.  I must have written the instructions I was using back with v5.3 of CentOS which would explain why it worked previously. 

I commented out the line to load the MOD now and it's loading fine with the .cgi - I'm surprised that IBM haven't got their act together to update it by now. 

I'd really like to understand the limitation though.

One thing you might try is using a source-compiled version of Apache 2.2. I have a sneaky feeling you might be able to use the modules with this. I can't back this up with any concrete facts, so it's just a hunch. Might be worth a try, though?

Cheers!

Here is a relevant blog post, but I guess you already knew about it. Might be nice to credit the muppet for assistance where appropriate :)

Heh heh, that's my article that I wrote after getting help within this very thread!

Yes, it seemed obvious that it was your blog. My point was that crediting Cognoise and the Muppet for the assistance and inspiration provided would have been the nice thing to do.
