title: Can not access Report Manager URL in Reporting Services Configuration Manager
body: <p>I've installed the SQl Server 2008 Reporting services on my PC but when I try to access the Report Manager URL </p>
  
  <pre><code>(http://localhost/Reports) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I first get prompted to log on, and then after several attempts I end up at a blank screen.</p>
  
  <p>I don't know if it is permissions, or even something as basic as the set up is not complete.</p>
  
  <p>The best link I've found so far has been this page:<br>
  <a href="http://www.gotknowhow.com/articles/reportserver-permissions-granted-are-insufficient-for-performing-this-operation-rsaccessdenied" rel="noreferrer">http://www.gotknowhow.com/articles/reportserver-permissions-granted-are-insufficient-for-performing-this-operation-rsaccessdenied</a></p>
  
  <p>and I've followed the steps as far as step 4. I don't get re-directed to  </p>
  
  <pre><code>http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Typing the URL in manually gives a blank page in IE, but I get an xml parsing error with Firefox.</p>
  
  <p>Any advice and help would be much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
  
  <p>Some additional information. When using Business Intelligence Design Studio I can deploy data sources and reports and the output window reports a success. </p>
  
  <p>More info:
  I log onto my machine as an Administrator.
  I've installed MS Sql Server 2008 RS (Standard)</p>
  
  <p>I've hit a dead end with this. Can't get any further. Nearly everything I've seen suggests the problem is to do with not being an administrator but I am.</p>
