webconfig prevents Reporting Manager from Starting

    Ihave installed Reporting Services 2005 on a Windows 2003 R2 Standard Edition Service Pack2.

    This instance connects to a SQL2000 server.

    In the web.config file there is an entry

    <add verb="*" path="MControl.WebPages.aspx" type="MControl.WebPages.ResSrvHandler, MControl.WebPages" />

    If I do not comment out this line then Report Manager will not start. It complains with an error:

    Configuration Error

    Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

    Parser Error Message: Could not load file or assembly 'MControl.WebPages' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

    I have asked the lead developer and he does not know anything about it. He says it was written by a developer that is no longer with the company and can't help me.

    I am not a developer but a production DBA.

    So I am asking for any guidance in solving this issue.

    Thanks

    There is no such entry in my SSRS 2005 I have just checked the many Web.Config files in my ReportServer and ReportManager so you need to install SQL Server in a test box and look at the Web.Config files because Microsoft have taken care of most configuration so if yours is modified then you need to fix it. Here is mine I think the developer have changed your Config file.

    <httpHandlers>

    <add verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportServer" type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportServiceHttpHandler, ReportingServicesWebServer" />

    <add verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, ReportingServicesWebServer, Version=9.0.242.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91" />

    </httpHandlers>

    Kind regards,
