Why I can not deploy my report project?

Hi, all here,

I am having a problem when trying to deploy my new report. The error message is like this: can not connect to the server, make sure the connection information is correct.

But I have double checked the connection information, the server I tried to connect is the reporting server name on my local host though. (/localhost/Report Server). So what is the problem though.

Did some body here ever occur this problem Thanks a lot for any guidance and help for this and really appreciate it.

PS: where can I find the metadata manager to modify the metadata properties on Analysis services server Thanks a lot for any guidance and help.

Are you able to open http://localhost/reportserver in IE

I would additionally try disabling proxy settings in IE as a test and see if you can visit http://localhost/reportserver and/or deploying your project.

Thanks, Donovan.

Hi, James, thanks and yes I can open the report manager in IE with the address below:

http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx

Thanks a lot for any further guidance.

So the HTTP request failed with 404 (Not found). And you are sure that when browsing http://localhost/reportserver (not report manager) in IE there is no error That will be very weird.

I think next step is to look at IIS logs. Do you see the 404 status for the failed requests

Hi,James, thank you very much for your guidance. Yes, I did type the target URL as you posted, but the error always as shown below :

...........................................................................

TITLE: Microsoft Report Designer

A connection could not be made to the report server http://localhost/reportserver.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

The attempt to connect to the report server failed. Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version. (Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer)

Report manager is not relevent when you are trying to deploy reports. You need to check the report server url. In your first post you mentioned the report server url was "/localhost/Report Server". If that's how you specified your TargetServerUrl, there is probably an extra space between "Report" and "Server" that made it fail. The correct url is most likely http://localhost/reportserver.

If that's not the case, please open the url you used in TargetServerUrl, and tell us what the url is and any errors you get. That should be the first steps towards diagnosing the problem. You still haven't answered our question about what you get when opening the url.

Did changing the proxy settings and restarting VS have any effect on whether you could deploy your project

The /Reports website is a "friendly" management/viewing front-end. The /ReportServer site is setup to handle webservice requests though it does provide basic report navication/viewing features. They both reference the same report information in the database.

Hi,James,

Also I cant even connect to reporting services server in SQL Server management studio tho. I think it is the installation problem when I installed reporting services Have to reinstall it Thanks for further advice.

Hi, Brad, thanks a lot. But the same error still occurs.

For your first question, try http://localhost/reportserver as the connection string in Report Designer.

For the second question, I have no answer.

Hi, James and Donovan, thank you for your guidance.

Yes, I can open http://localhost/reportserver with no error. I can also see the folder I created there through report manager website. But what is the relationship between report manager website and report server Why the folder I created on report manager website is available on report server page

Thanks a lot for any further guidance.
