"The specified report server url could not be found" error while deploying to reporting server

Question

I want to deploy a report that I have created in SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio 2008 R2. I have set TargetServerURL to http://mohammad-pc/Reports. I can access this path through a browser, but want to deploy my report I get:

"the specified report server url could not be found"

Is there any other setting that I missed?

Answer 1

Typically, in a default installation, you'll have two URL's:

• http://yourmachine/ReportServer - for accessing the web service and deploying reports
• http://yourmachine/Reports - for accessing the browser-based management front-end

Depending on your setup, the first URL may differ a bit, for example the port number may be different or a suffix like _SQLEXPRESS may be added.

See also the last section of this documentation for some example URLs. Here's a relevant quote on what the links may look like:

...what a report server URL might resemble:
- http://localhost/reportserver
- http://localhost/reportserver_SQLEXPRESS
- http://sales01/reportserver
- http://sales01:8080/reportserver
- https://sales.adventure-works.com/reportserver
- https://www.adventure-works.com:8080/reportserver01

...URLs that you use to access Report Manager...
- http://localhost/reports
- http://localhost/reports_SQLEXPRESS
- http://sales01/reports
- http://sales01:8080/reports
- https://sales.adventure-works.com/reports
- https://www.adventure-works.com:8080/reports
