I'm trying to set up the Report Manager Virtual Directory. But the little X just wont turn into a tick - even though I click New, then OK, then Apply.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I've managed to get SSRS running before but for the life of me I can't get it going! So annoying! Does anyone have a link to a simple Walkthrough or something for getting SSRS of the ground so that when you navigate to http://localhost/reportserver, you don't get "The Page can not be found".

Did you go through report service configuration?

Yes indeed. (Quick side question rmiao, have you worked a lot with SSRS commercially yourself?)

I've sorted it now.
There was a tick next to Report Server Virtual Directory.
But there was a cross next to Report Manager Virtual Directory.

But actually, the Report Server Virtual Directory had not been done yet - even though there was a tick next to it. Once I did that, Report Manager Virtual Directory had a tick.

I've successfully deployed my solution from my Dev Machine to the Dev Server. If I log in on the Dev Server, I can navigate to http://localhost/reportserver and see my report.

Now the next thing I'm working on is being able to see it from my Dev machine. I get "You are not authorized to view this page" when I try and navigate to http://[DevServerIP]/reportserver.

I configured using the default settings. So:

  • The the Report Server Window service account is the Built-in Local System Account.

  • The ASP.NET Service Account is NT Authority\NetworkService

  • The report server Credential Type is Service Credentials

  • I haven't bothered with an Encryption Key yet



I presume one of these three settings is the source of my problem. Just don't know which one yet!

UPDATE1:
What I've discovered thus far is if I log on to a client system as the domain administrator of the domain that the SSRS Server is on, I can get to it. Else, not authorized.

UPDATE2:
Answer found! I was using Firefox and it didn't work. Try the same thing in IE, no problem.
Just got to find out why now...
