[urgent] blank screen for Report Manager


[urgent] blank screen for Report Manager Kor_Win_Adm

sql server reporting services: I have installed Reporting Services on my notebook for creating reports.

OS : Windows XP Pro
Apps : SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition 8.00.818
SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services Developer Edition

After installing, I typed "http://localhost/ReportServer" to verify the
installation.
Seems to be ok.

I typed "http://localhost/Reports" to access the Reporting Services Console.
If installed properly, I should be seeing 2 tabs, "Contents" and "Properties".
I need to click "Properties" tab to give new role assignments, but I'm seeing
a blank screen and no tabs. I can only see the "Home" folder icon on the
top left of the screen and "Home | My Subscriptions | Help" on the top right
of the screen.

I have already tried reinstalling Reporting Services quite a few times. I
even
tried reinstalling SQL Server as well. Same result.

I tried searching the KB and MS sites and haven't found any help yet. If
anyone can help me with this problem .. please .. pleeeeeeeeeeease help me!

I think that by default, only members of the local administrators group have
access, so check that you are a member of this group on your local machine
and try opening Report Manager again.

HTH,

Steve

Thank you for replying Steve.

I already checked that. I already am a member of the local administrators
group. That's why it's puzzling me.

Is there any settings that I have to give from the IIS? I already checked
the settings for virtual directory "ReportServer", that seems to be ok. And
I don't think it has anything to do with getting proper access to
"http://localhost/Reports" .. does it?!?

As far as I know the Reports and ReportServer virtual dirs work independantly
of each other.

In the Reports virt dir, the authentication is set to windows? make sure
that the anon access ins't allowed as this basically turns windows auth off.

Yes, I know that. That's why I set only ReportServer virt dir authentication
as anonymous. Reports virt dir authentication is set to windows by default.

Doesn't quite solve my problem though.

What is happening is that when you set reporting services to anonymous all
users are treated the same. This includes yourself even though you are
admin. Change it back and you should see these other tabs. You say that you
only did ReportServer. Set that back to and see what happens.
