  I am trying to prepare a Win2K 2003 server edition as Reporting Server for 2005 SQL Server.

  http://localhost/Reports/

  throws this error:

  "The report server configuration file specifies localhost for the Web server name. The report server requires that the computer name be specified instead."

  Some sites suggested changing the RSWebApplication.config to remove localhost.

  and then I get this error.

  "The attempt to connect to the report server failed. Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version."

  The Report Server seems to be behaving okay and I can Deploy Reports from Visual Studio.

  http://localhost/ReportServer

  localhost/ReportServer - /

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Version 9.00.1406.00

  The current RSWebApplication.config file contains this:

  <Configuration>

  <UI>

  <ReportServerUrl>http://localhost/reportserver</ReportServerUrl&gt;

  <ReportServerVirtualDirectory></ReportServerVirtualDirectory>

  <ReportBuilderTrustLevel>FullTrust</ReportBuilderTrustLevel>

  </UI>

  I have tried many things so far and have searched Google a lot so far for any possible one solution that can work.

  Can someone guide me please to get this thing working?

  Thanks,

  Bij

  if you are locally loged in in the server localhost is your key but for the user must be

  //servername/reports

  that will bring your report list. open IE from another user and type the address above it should work. 🙂

  ex: servername = MainServer

  you must use //MainServer/reports

  hope that helps
