Report Builder - Can't Deploy

I am having a problem deploying a report. My target server url is
http://localhost/vbreports. I can get to this site with no problem. When I
deploy my report I get the error "A connection could not be made to the
report server http://localhost/vbreports".
Any help would be appreciated.

That is the url to access report manager application.
Reports are deployed to the reportserver application, typically
http://localhost/reportserver, or in your case, maybe http://localhost/vbreportserver
Rowen McDermott|||Thank you. Now I can deploy but the IE screen for the reportserver shows a
wierd screen. It shows a directory view and when I click on my models and
click on the model that I deployed I see the xml code instead of it running
the report builder. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rob

It sounds like you are getting confused between the report server
application and the report manager application. Both are installed
with reporting services.
The report server application 'http://localhost/reportserver' is the
primary application and includes a web service interface which can be
used to view reports. Reports are deployed to this application via the
web service.
The Report Manager application 'http://softwareserver/Reports/' is an
interface to the above web service that allows report viewing in a
more friendly manner. It is from here that you run report builder.
Rowen|||Thanks Rowen. I discovered my error last night. I can now deploy my model.
But when I open the report builder and choose my model I get the error: The
selected data source does not have any content available. I have checked the
table in the SQL database and there are records.
