I've just done a complete SQL2005 install on a Windows2K3 box. Everything looks fine and I "think" I've set up the Report Server correctly. However when I open a browser window (IE7) and put in the address for the Report Manager (http://localhost/myinstancename/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx), I don't get the Report Manager. All I get is a page that reads: "localhost/myinstancename" and "Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Version 9.00.1300.00". I have the whole installation on E: not on C. Does that make a difference?

Try this:

http://localhost/reports

or if you have a named instance:

http://localhost/reports$name of namedinstance

That did it. At least when I'm working on the server itself. How about when I try and hit it from the browser on my pc? I think I've tried every combination of

"http://servername/named instance/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx" that I can and still no luck.

Try: http://server name/reports

or if you have a named instance

http://server name/$instance name

I tried that, http://ABC/$XYZ where

ABC = my server name and

XYZ = my instance name

still no luck. I also made sure that active content was enabled in the IIS Manager. I am very perplexed.

Wow, the first one I tried today actually worked. It was:

http://servername/Reports$minstancename/Pages/Folder.aspx.

I don't think I tried the /Reports$myinstancename syntax. I also went into IIS Manager and selected all types of extensions to be allowed. I'm fixed.
