Default web site not listening on port 80 -- sql server reporting services

Hello,
For various reasons our default web site is not listening on port 80, but
81. The installation of Reporting Services went OK and I can do all
administration from the browser. Ie., everything seems OK with the
installation.

However, Visual Studio does not manage to connect to the reportserver for
deployment of reports.

How can I make VS connect?
Is there any other way to deploy reports?

Best regards,
Vemund

Hello again,
Found the answer myself after some research.

Visual Studio doesn't manage to connect to the webserver when the
TargetServerURL is written with an IP address, eg.
http://10.0.0.1:81/ReportServer.

The solution to this was to add an entry in the hosts file as '10.0.0.1
OurReportServer'. Then the TargetServerURL in VS was entered as
http://OurReportServer:81/ReportServer and the deployment went without a
hitch.

Instead of using the hosts file, this should of course be entered into the
local DNS.

Best regards,
Vemund
