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

reporting-services

Solution

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`

Problem

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?
