Cognos 10.1 & IIS 7

[Diaonic]

So I've followed this guide several times before for other cognos installations and never had an issue with the IIS side of the house.

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/data/library/cognos/infrastructure/web_servers/page599.html

The server I'm currently working on is giving me a 500 internal server error.

On the cgi-bin folder if I uncheck the execute options, it looks like cognos is loading, but then starts to download the cognosisapi.dll file to the local browser. I'm getting the same behavior when I try to browse through IIS and on a external desktop browser.

I've gone through all the settings in that guide three times over now, checking my application pool, handler mappings, IUSR permissions and nothing seems to be working.

Anyone have any ideas?

The server is:
Windows 2008 R2
Cognos 10.1
IIS 7

Change your application pool setting 'Enable 32 bit applications' to False and try again.

Life saver, that seemed to do the trick!

Thank you  :)
