Notes:
- The ScriptAlias section must be before the Alias section. - The actual directory path has quotation marks around it because of the space in the path; otherwise, the quotation marks are not necessary. - By default, access to any directories on the server is denied by Apache. The <Directory> section explicitly allows Apache to access the Cognos 8 directories. If this is mis -configured, then you will see the a 403 error, and client denied by server configuration errors in the Apache error.log file. - The cognos8 string can be changed to another name, but only if the Gateway URI parameter in Cognos Configuration is also changed. The cgi-bin string cannot be changed.
