Problem - Unable to read server response

edited July 2005 in Server
Hello All.

I am new to Report Builder / Report Builder Server.

I have set up a BDE connection to a MSSQL database using a data module.


I have set up the TDatabase, TSession, TTable, TDataSource etc.

I have a form with a TrsServer on it, which I set to activate when the
program runs.

I have also set up a dll file the runs in IIS to view the reports.

The problem is that I can see the reports through the web browser, but
when I click to open one, it says "Unable to read server response".

Have tried it through both Firefox and IE, and get the same error.

Please help.

    This is not an issue that has been reported by any other customers. My guess
    is that there is an issue with the report you created in the server
    application.

    1. Try working thru the tutorials in the Server Developers Guide (installed
    to RBServer\Developers Guide).

    Working thru the tutorials will provide a foundation for bulding your own
    servers. It shows how to build the Server, ClientReport, and WebTier
    applications.

    2. When you build your own Server proceed in incremental same incremental
    steps as the tutorials.

    First build the Server and then build a ClientReport application. Once you
    have everthing working you can build the WebTier application last.

    The Server and ClientReport applications can be run the standard Delphi
    debugger. To debug a web application, see RBServer\Demos\WebTier\WebDebugger
    for an example of building a WebTier application that can run within the
    context of Delphi's web debugger.
