There are a number of post out here on this problem. When you bring Report
Manager up (http://localhost/reports) you might not see the tabs for Contents
and Properties and the menu bar or you do see them but you can not select any
of the items on menu bar.
One solution that seems to work for making the tabs and the menu bar visible
is to disable anonymous for the website (check in IIS). If the user is
anonymous you don't have any rights to do anything, even if you are an admin
because it does not know who your are, you are anonymous.
But this does not solve the problem of items on the menu bar are not
selectable. Does anyone know the answer? I believe it is a permissions issue
of some sort, but where? What is very frustrating is that there are no error
messages any where, nothing to go on.
Since this is a problem that a number of people have run into, I would like
to Microsoft step up and explain in detail what is going on here. I have
looked in Online Books and searched Microsoft knowledge base and have found
nothing that addresses this.I search Online Books again and in the Trouble Shooting section for Report
Services I found this:
Selected Pages in Report Manager do not open
If you are using Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 configured with
default settings on your report server, you must add the Web server name as a
Trusted Site (for example, http://mywebservername). Otherwise, you cannot
open the New Folder page, New Data Source page, and Upload File page from the
Contents tab. Also, the frameset used in Report Manager Help does not open
correctly.
