SSRS Report Manager not showing up properly

Question

I'm new to Reporting Services and have started creating Reports recently.

I am creating reports in BIDS that comes with MS SQL Server, for my purpose, R2, and have configured the Reporting Server also. Everything is fine. I am able to preview the reports, debug, deploy and all, using the BIDS. But, the problem is, when I click the Report Manager URL in the Reporting Service Configuration Manager and expect to see the Report Manager as a Web application, I instead, end up with a non-graphical web page, displaying the text based links to directories like this:

---

and Ultimately, I get no options like:(as shown in MSDN)

• Click Site Settings at the top of the page
• Click the Security tab at the side of the page etc.
  

Yes, of course, I did try to run the Browser as Administrator and then enter the Report Manager URL in it, yet again, I get the same screen

Any suggestions ? Would be greatly appreciated
Thanks.

Solution

The screen shot you posted is valid, its called the "Report Server" this is essential to call the report server when passing parameters for instance. What you want to view is the report manager, generally that can be found at http://reportservername/reports
