IBM® does not provide the web server that hosts
Cognos® Connection and the other
IBM® Cognos® BI web applications. For
Windows™, the
IBM® Cognos® documentation assumes that you are using
Microsoft™ IIS (Internet Information Services) but you can also use Apache HTTP.
If you use the Apache HTTP server, take care to set up the web aliases for the Cognos® web applications in the
VirtualHost configuration directive of the Apache
httpd.conf file correctly: be sure to order the most specific alias first (the script alias) and set directory permissions for each alias.
The following example is from an Apache installation on a Windows™ system. The Apache server is running on the default port 80.
