Root/Home page SSRS 2008 when not in IIS

  • We have a SSRS 2008 not hosted in IIS and we would like to keep it like that, but it would be nice if i could create a nice html home page or even a redirect directly to main report site.

    If users forget the virtualdirectory they see a dirty error "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)". Does anybody knowns how i can do that?

    Kind Regards,

  • You'd have to set up IIS to perform the redirect. Probably a better question posted to an IIS related forum.

  • This is actually a programming question not IIS question because when you redirect in the response object there is a round trip thread abort in the http pipeline so I am not sure IIS users can answer that question.

  • Doiing the redirect is easy in a ASP or static html page, but would like to use the stripped down webserver instead of a full iis. Any idea if i can host eg. a static html in the RS web server?

  • You may not be able to do that because SQL Server 2005 uses the Asp.net runtime because when users are having problem with Reporting Services or Asp.net in IIS 6 Windows 2003 the solutions are similar using the same permissions and utility to resolve the issues.

    Remove IIS 6 and enable Asp.net features because IIS 6 is created to render only static html.
