Error: The specified TargetServerURL is not valid. Specify a valid URL for report server in the deployment settings

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

What are the valid severity levels in SQL Server 2008?

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.

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.
