Can't preview SRS report within VS after server clone

  • The IT moved the server. From what I could tell they just copy my Documents directory on old server to new (which include al the projects).

    I launched VS05, open an existing report and click on Preview tab. I receive this error

    The report server has encountered a configuration error. See the report server log files for more information.

    I review all the log files and could not find any thing that is unusual. Users could still run teh reports from report web site. I could Run the query under Data tab. But I can't Preview it.

    Appreciate any tips.

  • I noticed no answers after a while - so, if you haven't fixed it yet, maybe this will help.

    (But this was an issue for SSIS not SSRS)

    When I moved SSIS packages from one server to another, I had a similar problem, the package would not run. I had to go into each connection object and resave it - WITH THE SAME VALUES - Examining the project files in a text editor gave me the idea that at some level SSIS (maybe all Business Intelligence projects too) store connections and associates them with a GUID - moving the project between machines seems to break the link with the GUID, but re-saving them assigns a new GUID.

    If you're lucky it may work for SSRS too 😉

  • Interesting. Will give it a try next week.

    What I did was I imported the project to local laptop (instead of using VS on the server) and it works. Not ideal but got me going.
