Answer 2

Are you able to access the reportserver URL http://localhost/reportserver?

What is the authentication mode that you are using? Are you using Kerberos?

Answer 3

Hi SeansArcher,

Based on our experience, the issue is caused by the invalid configuration in the RSWebApplication.config.

Please follow these steps to solve the issue:
1.Open the RSWebApplication.config with notepad.
2.Remove the value in the element ReportServerurl
3.Save the file.
4.Open Internet Information Server(IIS) manager, changed specific IP address to "all unassigned".
5.Then restart Internet Information Server(IIS) by running the command "iisreset"

Now, we should be able to view the report server and the report manager.

Please feel free to ask, if you have any more questions.

Thanks,
Jin Chen
