I have IIS6 configured such that browsing to http://localhost:8082/Reports gets me the reporting services default home page, which is all as expected. However, when I try to publish a report via Microsoft Business Intelligence Visual Studio 2005 I get the following error: A connection could not be made to the report server http://localhost:8082/Reports The attempt to connect to the report server failed. Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version.

I have windows authentication turned on for report server. Does that have anything to do with not being able to publish projects?

  1. I cannot upvote, but guy is correct. Go into Project->Properties and change TargetServerURL to ‘http://localhost:8082/ReportsServer‘. This should alleviate your problems.

    If you need to deploy to a named instance remember that your URL will be ‘http://servername/ReportServer$instancename’.
