can''t log in to reporting services

I try to log in and I get this big long error that looks like html and starts with something like:

Cannot Connect to myServerName

Client found response content type of 'text/html; charset=utf-8 but expected 'text/xml'

-etc etc etc

is this a permissions issue?

Are you using SharePoint?

"Restrictions on using built-in accounts apply to some deployment topologies of Reporting Services that include a report server running in SharePoint integrated mode. The following combination of factors will result in service account requirements:

Report Server is integrated with a SharePoint farm comprising more than one computer.
The report server and SharePoint Central Administration web site run on separate computers.

we are running a sharepoint site on the same physical server, but the app i'm working on is defined as an entirely separate app in IIS - so i'm wondering, does that qualify for the scenario above? the statement "accessing reporting services feature through a sharepoint site.." doesn't seem to apply to my scenario.

- to clarify, i am trying to login to reporting services through mssms console in sqlsvr 2005

My issue similar to your citation http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1761909&SiteID=1

in that our admin indeed has configured IIS so that the default web site pointed to another folder. However, we do not have the luxury of

"simply setting this back to c:\inetpub and added my actual website as a virtual folder and hey presto it works!"

I need to get it to work pointed to the non-default website, which happens to be called "database" - so the user gets to my app by going http://database - http://localhost/ doesn't work.
