How to enable remote errors for Reporting Services 2005

How do I enable remote errors for Reporting Services 2005?I am surprised this issue isn't dealt with in a FAQ in these forums.

There appear to be two ways to enable remote errors to display, so you can figure out what is happening ith your report.

1) Modify the Web.config file for the reports application. Whether this is for your application which contains the ReportViewer control that displays the error, or for a Report Services URL-based report is unclear.

Change the custumErrors section mode to off. Thus:

<customErrors mode="off"></customErrors>

It is also not clear if you must restart any ReportServer services or not with this procedure.

2) Create a small RSS script and run it against your server to set the correct property. I did this and it worked for me. Here's the thread:

Hi,

I have encountered a similar issue. I have a report server which hosts 1 report. I tried to access it via url thru another machine but I cannot see the remote errors even though I have already set the EnableRemoteErrors value to true in the ConfigurationInfo table in ReportServer Database but I am still not getting the Remote errors. I have restarted the web server, the report services and the database services but it is still not working for me.

Is there anything else which I have missed?

Thanks for any help!!
