Hi,
Open up your IIS console and check that the virtual directories for Cognos 8 still exist
ie Cognos8 pointing to Program Files\cognos\c8\webcontent
Cognos8/cgi-bin pointing to Program Files\cognos\c8\cgi-bin plus make sure this one has execute privileges

Hi MF
Thanks for your response.Cognos is not there in iis after the installation we did manually.Actually what happened was when we finished install we noticed that in iis(inetmgr) we couldnt able to see cognos there so what we did was follow the steps in http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21343353 but we couldn't make success since we are using IIS 5.1 in link it is IIS 7 .We are having all the rights on the folder and there is no problem in access and execute privileges
Thanks

Hi,
Make sure you set Execute privilege on the cgi-bin virtual directory.
The basic instructions for setting up your web server are here:
