You create a new project in Framework Manager and the following message appears:
Unable to access service at URL:
http://hostname:80/cognos8/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi/
b_acton=xts.run&m=portal/close.xts
Please check that your gateway URI information is configured correctly and that the service is available.
For further information please contact your service administrator.
This message appears if the gateway is not properly configured. The gateway URI must be set to the computer name where Cognos 8 is installed and reflect the type of gateway you are using. You must log on as an administrator to configure the gateway URI.
Close Framework Manager.
In Cognos Configuration, in the Explorer window, click Environment.
In the Properties window, in the Gateway URI box, type the appropriate value:
To use ISAPI, replace cognos.cgi with cognosisapi.dll.
To use apache_mod, replace cognos.cgi with mod_cognos.dll.
To use a servlet gateway, type the following:
http[s]://host:port/context_name/servlet/Gateway
Note:context_name is the name you assigned to the ServletGateway Web application when you deployed the ServletGateway WAR file.
If you are not using a Web server, to use the dispatcher as the gateway, type the following:
http[s]://host:port/p2pd/servlet/dispatch
If required, change the host name portion of the Gateway URI from localhost to either the IP address of the computer or the computer name.
From the File menu, click Save.
From the Actions menu, click Restart.
