I have used SSRS previously. It has been quite a long time though. The installation(s) I've used previously have included the needed Database(s) installed on the computer I was working on SSRS with.
Not this time.
Not sure why I expected this to be easy. Seems like it rarely is.
Error Dialog (when trying to run a basic report that consists of a 10 row retrieve from an external SQL Server installation):
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Report Designer
Could not connect to the report server http://localhost/ReportServer. Verify that the TargetServerURL is valid and that you have the correct permissions to connect to the report server.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Unable to connect to the remote server (Microsoft.ReportingServices.RsClient)
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it [::1]:80 (System)
I'm not positive if I need a version of SQL Server installed on my computer (perhaps a development version) or if this is a permissions error on my computer and/or the network and/or the external SQL Server installation I'm trying to access.
Sorry for such a basic question. But it's where I'm stuck.
Relevant SSRS installation/PC information:
Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Designers
Version 15.0.19528.0
MS Windows 10 Education 10.0.19042
Inel Xeon W02102 CPU
Any help appreciated.
Thank you.
