Hi all,
I have recently installed SQL Server 2008 Reporting Service but unable to connect to report manager. I got the following error:
The attempt to connect to the report server failed. Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version.
This error occurred while connect to: http://<servername>/reports
but when I use http://<server name>/reportserver, it will show SYS1 and Users Folders.
Any idea will be greatly appreciated.
Sani.

At first I have installed SQL Server 2005 Reporting Service and Engine but as We need to have latest version, I have uninstalled it and installed SQL Server 2008 Reporting Service and Engine.

Do you think this the root cause of the problem?

Thanks for the reply.

If both same version then there wont be any issue..check the report server name..New installation might have installed under different name ..not sure..

Database engine and Reporting service has the same version. I used the same name for installation.

Edit the file RSWebApplication.config under C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\Reporting Services\ReportManager and add the full url to the ReportServer into the ReportServerUrl tag.AND remove the value from ReportServerVirtualDirectory. You must recycle the application pool used by the Report-Manager so that config file is being reloaded.
