I have had a great deal of success in the past on other systems with
deploying reports...
BUT now, to save my life, I haven't been able to get the first report
to deploy. I get these
errors:

A connection could not be made to the report server http://###.###.##.###/reportserver.
Additional information:
The attempt to connect to the reoprt server failed. Check your
connection information and that the report server is a compatible
version. (Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer)

I change the TargetServerURL (after remote desktoping to the Report
Server itself) to:
http://GCC/ReportServer or http://localhost/ReportServer and get
another type of error:

A connection could not be made to the report server http://localhost/reportserver
The request failed with HTTP status 404: Bad Request
(System.Web.Service)

I've tried all the configurations I know and granted all permissions
and turned off the firewall.
Any help (especially at this point) is very appreciated.

Thanks,
Trint

First things first. You need to make sure that you can open up Report
Manager (that is the portal that ships with RS). Sure, there won't be any
reports if none have been deployed but that is fine. It will show you that
everything is setup and working and that you have rights.

It sounds like in your case the easiest thing to do is to first remote
desktop to the server and then do this:

http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx

Do not try anything else until this comes up for you. If you have been
changing permissions in the database or in IIS after installing RS then you
have most likely just messed things up. You should never have to be doing
either one. Everything from a security perspective can be done using Report
Manager.

If IIS has set the two RS websites to anonymous then this will come up but
you will not be able to deploy because with anonymous no-one has rights to
deploy.

RS uses roles. Read up on how roles are used.

Bruce,
Something is bad...I get the Reporting Services type screen, you know,
it's not the avereage
looking html page with the two lines at the top, a big red X in a red
circle and the message after the lines:
"The request failed with HTTP status 400: Bad Request."
and that's all there is on the page.
I could get that, unless i used the full ip address of the server it's
on, because I would just get the same
message on a regular http page using "localhost" or gcc, which is the
virtual folder.
Thanks for you help!
I sure hope I don't have to drive ALL the way over to Virginia (where
my server is) and reinstall SQL '05

Run the program files->Microsoft SQL 2005->Configuration Tools -> reporting
services configuration

Make sure you have no red X's.
