I imagine someone here works with or knows how to use BIDS. I am have a baffling issue.

I created a test report and wanted to put it on the server on my machine. So I hit build, then deploy. It asked me for login/password which I don't recall having to do in class. After I enter it and hit ok the login screen just pops up again. It doesn't do anything.

I have admin rights on my computer and the server.
I have the server agent running.
It doesn't give me an error so I know I have the right URL and port. http//localhost:80/reportserver
It's 2008 SP1
I can't connect to http://localhost/reports in my browser and a ping fails.

I have scoured the web and no one in my office knows anything about what I'm doing. I'm at my wits end and if someone can help me it would be a huge relief.

This actually sounds very similar to an issue I recently ran into using CRM and SSRS. Programs are not what's important, it's the credentials that are mucking you up. In SSRS, I go to Manage a report, and under Data Sources there is a Connect Using criteria with the following options:

Since we are running a Windows-based system, we use Windows integrated security, and the user does not have to add anything after their initial login into the system. Hope this helps.

It's true that finding helpful resources for report building is difficult, but they are out there. I seriously think this is a credentials issue. Try looking from there.

You may want to look at the event log (under administrative tools) to see if maybe the database reports some error there. If it's a credentials issue (or a certificate issue), the info about what goes wrong might be there.

By credentials you mean on the local server? I've given myself all rights.
On Tuesday (3 day weekend) I think I'll just install it on my personal laptop and see if there are issues....since it's just a stand alone. I just have this sneaking suspicion it has something to do with being on Novell network.

Solved. I had to have rights on the damned box the server is on vice the server. Sigh.
Unfortunately now it says "deploy failed"; more research.

In Command & Conquer, the deployment would fail if you exceeded the unit limit. Try sending some of the basic soldiers to die somewhere and build again.
