Unable to connect to http://localhost/reportserver

  • Hi. I have installed SQL 2005 on my laptop (XP Pro SP3) and configured Reporting Services. I created a report using MVS but was unable to deploy. I attempted to connect to http://localhost/reportserver but IE7 returned HTTP 500. I reset permisiions in IIS 5 to inherit from parent, I now receive the following:

    'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin' is denied

    I added LAPTOP\ASPNET to folder security and gave write permissions but still no joy.

    So before I make even more changes (generate different errors!) I thought I would post to see if anyone can advise how to set reporting Services up on XP IIS 5?

    I have googled and tried various suggestions but no joy.

    Report Server Status:

    Instance MSSQLSERVER

    Instance ID MSSQL.3

    Report Server Virtual Directory:

    Name: ReportServer

    Web Site: Default Web Site

    Report Manager Virtual Directory

    Name: ReportServer

    Web Site: Default Web Site

    Windows Service Identity

    Service Name: Report Server

    Service Account: LocalSystem

    Built-in Account: Local System

    Web Service Identity:

    Laptop\ASPNET

    Database Setup:

    Server Name: LAPTOP

    Database Name: ReportServer

    Credentials Type: Service Credentials

    Many Thanks,

    Phil.

  • Did you use the default instance or a named instance for your database. If your database has a named instance eg. localhost\SQL2005 the connection will be http://localhost/Reportserver$SQL2005

  • I used the default instance.
