I'm fairly new to SSRS, having switched over from Crystal recently. I've
created a report, which is working fine in the designer and the debugger.

The problem is that when try to deploy the report to the reportserver
(localhost/reportserver), I receive an error described here:

"A connection could not be made to the report server
http://localhost/ReportServer. (Microsoft Report Designer)"

The report server has encountered a configuration error. See the report
server log files for more information. (rsServerConfigurationError)
Access to the path 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting
Services\ReportServer\RSReportServer.config' is denied.

The deployment works fine on my local PC (both boxes are running Win XP
sp2). I have a feeling it's a permissions/login/services problem, but my

Just in case anyone has the same problem, I figured it out.

It was a simple windows directory permissions problem. Because SSRS was
using the machine's ASPNET account, it had to explicitly be given read
permissions to the .config file in the physical directory for reporting
services. Once permissions were given, the report deployed fine. Now it's
not running properly, but that's another issue for another day.
