Where is the SQL Server Reporting Services virtual folder located?

Question

I installed SSRS 2012 and tried to visit http://mybox.org/Reports but an error message appears:

User 'mybox \ xxx' does not have the required permissions. Confirm that sufficient permissions have been granted and the Windows user account Control (UAC) restrictions have been removed

So I tried to check IIS settings. But surprisingly I found that in my IIS 8 management console there is no reporting site or virtual folder. So where are the reports posted? And how to fix this permission error?

Answer 1

The physical directory of the report server and report manager can be found in

\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services

Answer 2

SSRS 2008 no longer needs IIS to work. This error seems to come directly from SSRS, not from the web server. You need to provide access to your account (MYBOX \ xxx) using the Report Manager interface. (SSMS can no longer be used to grant rights to the report manager).

You will need local administrator access to the machine on which SSRS is installed, since it automatically has system-wide administrator rights in Report Manager. Then just go to http://localhost/reports and give \ MYBOX \ xxx all the necessary security permissions.

Answer 3

For SQL Server 2017, the location template has changed, and now the default physical directory is ReportServer :

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services\SSRS\ReportServer
