I have created a Report Server Project in Visual Studio 2013. The actual report server was a pre-existing server whose reports were previously populated via the Report Builder tool. I have downloaded the .RDL files locally and added them to the project under the /Reports folder.
When I try to deploy the reports I am receiving the 'TargetServerURL' is not valid error. I have researched the answers here and here.
I can successfully navigate to http:///Reports_PRODUCTION which displays the reports, and also to http:///ReportServer_PRODUCTION which offers an FTP-view of the report structure.
In the project properties I have set the 'TargetServerURL' to both of these URLs and neither has worked. I've verified that the target server version is correctly set - SQL Server 2008 R2. Am I missing something?
Thanks
In this blog I am explaining how to fix the error “The specified report server URL could not be found”. Step 1: Check whether or not the service is running. To get the correct URL go to Start menu -> SQL Server-> Configuration Tools- > Reporting Services Configuration note down the URL from the web service URL section.
The RSReportServer.config file contains multiple entries for URL reservations and the URLs used by the web portal and report server e-mail delivery. This topic summarizes the URL configuration settings so that you can understand how they compare. URL Reservations for Multi-Instance Report Server Deployments (Report Server Configuration Manager)
The valid severity levels are 0 through 4 inclusive. The default value is 2. ErrorLevel can be used to increase or decrease the sensitivity of the build. For example, when a report with a map is built during deployment to a SQL Server 2008 report server an error displays by default and building the report fails.
The default value for TargetReportFolder is the name of the report project. For a report server running in native mode, you must have Publish permissions on the target folder to publish reports to that folder.
I found out something, so that's why I post to this old question.
I had the same problems after starting a new VS2013 SSRS project and tried to deploy to the same RS server, but to a different server.
I kept getting the error: The specified TargetServerURL is not valid. Specify a valid URL for report server in the deployment settings.
After quadruple checking everything,I found that I was changing the ssrs project property on Release mode but in VS 2013 I was deploying the project in Debug mode. After changing the VS 2013 configuration to run as Release it found the right ssrs project settings and deployed fine on first run.
