Report Server Web Page Issue

Hi there, I just installed SQL Server 2005 on a windows 2003 server machine. Everything installed properly and functions however, the report server web page isn't displaying properly... its displaying like a FTP login or something with just straight links to the reports that you stick out there.

I'm not sure if this is a windows setup issue or a sql server problem... any help is appreciated.

Hmm... how do I fix that? When I go to the site it asks me for a login and password and acts like its connecting but then it gives me http 500 "this website cannot display the page". I know I'm running .NET 2.0 ... IIS says its running... I'm generally not a networking person and don't do this installation... so, any help is appreciated.

IIS is installed ><

Have you checked IIS properties and Application Settings for the Reports Website? This is what mine look like by default, are yours different?

No looks identical.

Puzzling, I will keep looking and thinking.

Thanks, its really annoying me... I can see differences in what comes up on the webpage when I remove anonymous login... then it says permission denied... and I can bring up a report that I publised via a direct URL to the report itself... so I think it has to do with IIS ....

Roxanne25,
Is this question still active? I have seen your subsequent question.
I looked at this again and what you are seeing when going to delta-hudtest/ReportServer$FSMTST is normal because that is the Reporting Services Web Service site. I see the same thing if I just go to either my normal Report Server or the Report Server I have on a Named Instance like yours. Like your other question is getting into, you will want to go to delta-hudtest/Reports$FSMTST for normal Reporting.

Yes, I mentioned in like my third post or so that I goofed and I was using the wrong URL... its the Report Manager I'm having a problem with.

I solved it by reinstalling the entire machine and starting over. Not sure what did it exactly but I'll give you the points anyhow. :)
