IBM Cognos Analytics Platform > Upgrading to Cognos Analytics

Redirect loop after installation of Cognos Analytics 11

(1/5) > >>

EarthDog:
So i installed C11

Followed all the steps from 10.2.x installations and everything seems ok.

The installation is a bit different as there is one exe file now, but nothing very strange.

Default url is /bi .

I configured IIS for /bi as virtual directory. Also configured isapi.

Now when i hit the url i get a redirect loop....

I cant figure out what is the problem.

Anyone care to give a hand to get me off the mud?

bvk.cognoise:
Hi EarthDog,

What is the Virtual directory name which you have created?Could you please try to replace bi with the your Cognos Virtual directory name. Because I have installed it I don't see any issue .

If still there is any issue could you please elaborate you issue?


Regards
BVK

I created /cognos as i always do in my 10.2.2 installs.

I then configure cgi-bin and the rest of IIS as known.

Until 10.2.2 the only place where you find the /ibmcognos (now /bi) directory is in the 2 html files index and default in teh webcontent dir.

Now in C11 there are also other files that have this /bi in them and the defualt index in the webcontent directory is simpler now. It just have a redirect to /bi.

I tried everything..I tried changing all of them to /cognos but no luck.

the root webcontent /cognos has to be changed to /cognos/cgi-bin/cognosisapi.dll?........ in order to get to the login screen.

But even then after you login youget redirected to/bi out of nowhere....

Of course IBM Configuration settings are changed accordingly..

Running into the same issues you are, the infinite redirect, other options end up not going anywhere.  Have you had any luck?  As far as I can tell we need the Gateway to do WebDAV and SSL.  Unless I'm missing something.

Yes you will end up nowhere :)

I have a PMR open that waits from answer from R&D, it is a documented problem.

Until then i am not even thinking of moving C11 to production server. I am just testing various stuff on a side server using the built-in gateway

Hopefully FP1 will solve them (or even an interim fix)
