Trial SQL Server 05 BI Reports Can't get IIS working with reports


Trial SQL Server 05 BI Reports Can't get IIS working with reports richard.r.schneider NO[at]SPAM gmail.com

sql server reporting services:
Ok, I am stumped. I am obviously missing something really trivial. I
have searched this group and don't see my exact problem which is this:
I installed VS 05, SQL 05 so that I could test out the BI Reports
stuff. I can build reports. SQL works nicely. The report builder
works nicely. I can see that IIS Web Services is running because I
created a separate virtual directory and put a test.html which works
from http://localhost/test.html. But whenever I try to browse any of
the report stuff (reports ReportServer ReportManager etc.. )
http://localhost/Reports fails with 500
http://localhost/index.htm works ( so I know the IIS webserver is
running - right?)
The configuration tool for reporting services also looks right, says
its on, seems to have all the right stuff.

I think that my problem is something basic in my XP SP2 set up such
that the ReportServer which is supposed to be running under IIS won't
authenticate me directly and or thru VS when I try to deploy a report.

What basic thing am I missing here? At this point I could give a rats
ass about security, I just want to be able to deploy a report to the
Report Server and then access it from within IIS. Why is this so
flippin hard?

Enrique, thanks for the response. I did the following:
Within IIS ->right clicked on Reports ->Properties -> Directory
Service ->
Edit -> CHECKED the box for anonymous Access -> Checked Allow IIS to
control pw
Check Integrated Windows Authentication

Did this for both Reports and Report Server

Made sure both RPC services were running [ Service and Locator ]

Using IE5.1 IIS Services
Not sure about the pool stuff.
None of that seemed to make any difference, I still can not browse to
anything in the reports directory. Maybe I have to put something in
there first?? But than that does not explain why VS2005 BI Reports
can't connect to do the deployment to http://localhost/ReportServer.

With the server off, this is what VS2005 provides during the attempt
to deploy the report (connection failure)

A few things to check:
- Check the Virtual Directories for SSRS (Reports and ReportServer)
and determine if Anonymous Access is set by itself, this is usually
the problem. You will want to at least have Integrated Windows
Authentication set via: Virtual Directory -> right-click -> Properties
-> Directory Security tab -> Edit... button.
- Check to make sure that the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) service is
running.
- If you are using IE7, you will want to create an additional
application pool and set the SSRS Virtual Directories to use that one.
Hope this helps.
