Setup Error: A connection could not be made to the report server

  • Reporting services is working, but i can't deploy... I get this additional information:

    The attempt to connect to the report server failed.  Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version. (microsoft.reportservices.designer)  << OK >>

    I am new to reporting server and have only (very) limited IIS experience. 

    I went thru RS tutorial all the way thru creating a basic report.  Then tried to deploy...when i get the above message.  Then I installed IIS on to Windows 2003 Server (Standard) to enable Rerporting Services web reporting.  I realized after the fact that i should have installed IIS before reporting services.  I deinstalled SQL2005 and reinstalled.  Attempted to deploy and get the same error.

    Can anyone point the way out?

    Thanks!

  • This was removed by the editor as SPAM

  • Most likely you are referencing TargetServerURL in deployment properties as:

    http://my_server/Reports

    instead

    http://my_server/ReportServer

    Hope it helps,

  • I'm having the same issue. It appears to be the format in my TargetServerURL string.

  • Several connection and deploy issues I had were solved with Sqlserver2005 SP1.

    Since Sp1 solved my issue, I did not go to Sp2.

    solved with Sp -

    could not deploy from BI tools

    could not connect to reporting services in mngmt

    ( connect times out)

    could not connect to reporting services in browser

    ( could not create \app_globalresources\)

    could not open reportdesigner

    ( encountered HTML expected XML)

    system:

    windows 2000 server, sp4

    vstudio 2005
