    Please advice me

  • Yeah,

    I cracked the mistry as below.It all about modifying the RSWebApplication.config file in Reportmanager.

    Steps:

    1. I compared the currently running reporting services configurarion with my newly installed Reporting services

    2. I checked the RSWebApplication.config file in Reportmanager in currently running Server. It is as below

    Code Snippet

    Configuration

    UI

    ReportServerUrl></ ReportServerUrl

    ReportServerVirtualDirectory>ReportServer</ReportServerVirtualDirectory

    ReportBuilderTrustLevel>FullTrust</ReportBuilderTrustLevel

    /UI

    3.I checked the RSWebApplication.config file in Reportmanager in newly installed server. It is as below

    Code Snippet

    Configuration

    UI

    ReportServerUrl></ReportServerUrl

    ReportServerVirtualDirectory>/ReportServerVirtualDirectory

    ReportBuilderTrustLevel>FullTrust</ReportBuilderTrustLevel

    /UI

    4. Compare 2 n 3. In 3, ReportServer is missing (in the quoted line)

    5. I added the ReportServer in step 3.

    6.Everything is working fine now.

    BUT WHY THE INSTALLATION DID NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY IN THE NEW SERVER? ANY IDEA? ANY KIND OF BUG?

    I appreciate your inputs

    Thanks

  • Thanks a lot. I made the changes in the RSWebApplication.config as you indicated. The report manager is now loading correctly. There is definitely an error in the code.

    I haven't a clue about programming and was pulling my hair out.

    Just wanted to say thanks!!!!!!
