Problem regarding report builder.

  • Hi,

    We are using SSRS 2008.

    We are facing a problem regarding the report builder.

    If we try to launch the report builder on the same machine (on which the SQL server 2008 and SSRS are installed) using URL-

    http://:8080/ReportServer/ReportBuilder/ReportBuilder.application

    It launches the report builder fine.

    But, if we try to launch it using same URL on some different machine (on same domain), it doesn't work. Firstly, it asks for username/password. After providing that, it gives a message box. It sates something like -'Application installation did not succeed. Cannot locate application files on server. Contact application vendor or your administrator for assistance.'

    After clicking on 'Details' button of that message box, it opens a log file. It is having following content. -

    No transaction information is available.

    Also, if we try to open the report builder from that different machine by using ssrs server machine name (rather than IP), it asks for username/password. If we provide correct username/password also it does not proceed. The username/password dialog box keeps on coming.

    Can anybody provide a solution on this problem?

  • We are still facing the problem.

    Any input / solution regarding this would be of grat help!!

  • Is this Report Builder 2.0 or Report Builder 1.0? What version of SSRS are you on (2005? 2008?) Is the server stand-alone or in integrated mode with SharePoint?

    More information would be helpful in order to point you in the right direction.

  • Were you able to resolve this problem? I have a similar problem. The main difference is that I am getting a (401) Unauthorized, instead of the (403) Forbidden message you are are getting.

    Thanks

  • Jon,

    As a funny coincidence, did you happen to get today's SQLServerCentral newsletter? The "headline" article is "Reporting Services - Solving a 401 Error." http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Reporting+Services+(SSRS)/67944/ [/url]

    Good luck,

    Cindy

  • Hi,

    My problem is solved.

    It was problem in config file of the report server / service.

    This issue was fixed by changing the AuthyenticatonTypes to RSWindowsNTLM in the report server config file.

  • Were you on 1.0 or 2.0
