HTTP Error 403 on Report Server


HTTP Error 403 on Report Server John

sql server reporting services:
Hi,
I have just installed Reporting Services (SQL Server 2000 Std, Windows
2000 SP4) and within Report Designer (VS 2003 Architect) I can develop and
test my reports successfully, but when I deploy them they produce a HTTP
Error 403. The data source seems to be setup correctly and I can view the
configuration correctly, the logical folder on the report server displays
correctly with the report beneath it, but I cannot find the report rdl file
physically on the report server.

If anyone has any ideas no what I am doing wrong it would be of great help.

Cheers,

Yes I have created users and one of them is the Everyone domain group so that
everyone can browse the reports. Reporting Services seems to work to the
point that I want to open a report, I can traverse folders, setup users and
see data sources and the properties, including parameters, of reports, but
when I want to view the report I get the error message.

This is starting to impact our decision to go in this direction as it should
be very simple but we can't get anywhere.

Yes the Everyone group has browse access.

I am in the local admin group of the server and when I run it under that
account I receive the same error.

I have not touched IIS permissions, I have left that to RS.

RS created a second default web site for me, so I have moved it (and in fact
I am re-doing it right now) with the exact same settings, to the original
default web site.

I am running RS on Windows 2000, so I had to select domain user (doco says
its a requirement) and have used a local admin for the account.

Hope that helps.

You will not find any rdl files on the server. They don't exist. During
deployment the rdl is stored in the database, it never exists as a file on
the server. You say you see the report. It sounds like it deployed. I am
thinking that you do not have security setup correctly. Have you setup any
users or any roles for the users? If you have not added any group or user to
a role then you have missed a step.

So you gave the Everyone group setup in the browse role?

Are you in the local admininstrator group of the server that has RS
installed?

Can you log into the server machine as a user (local administrator will
work) in the administrators group? If so, try doing that and see if it works
for you when you are sitting in front of the server.

Have you touch IIS permissions at all or have you let RS handle it?

Did you let RS install in the default website or did you move it?

Is there anything outside of accepting defaults when you installed?

If you are on Windows 2003 Server and you are installing you are given a
choice between network account (something like that) and service account. I
had trouble when I picked the network account, I make sure to pick service
account.

What is causing the problem is having moved the website. Although this is
possible there are some additional steps you have to take. I have never done
this so I don't know exactly what you need to do but I am pretty confident
that is the problem. The issue here is that this is not just a bunch of web
pages (which is why there are not files present for the reports). It is two
asp.net applications. The report manager is a portal that uses web services
to reportserver (the second and the meat of the product). There is either
some utility you run or something in one of the config files that need
changing. Sorry I can't get specific but hopefully that points you in the
right direction.
