How to remove url reservation in SSRS - sql-server

During a recovery process I have uninstalled and re-installed Sql Server 2008 R2 a couple of times with different instance names. I have recovered the database and want to configure the report server the way it was before.
My problem occurs in Reporting Services Configuration Manager when I try to apply defaults for the web service url. I get this error:
Reserving url http: //+:80 The Url has already been reserved.
How do I un-reserve the url so that it can be applied to the new installation?

Make sure your current binding isn't from IIS or another webserver process, as deleting it could cause... badness
Ensure your old SSRS instance is completely uninstalled (as the uninstallation process should free these bindings). Next, fire up a command prompt window in admin mode (must be in admin to delete), and do:
Check your existing reserved URLS:
netsh http show urlacl
Delete the URLs you don't want, using the exact same values shown on the "Reserved URL" line from the "show" command:
netsh http delete urlacl URL=http://+:80
You might consider binding your next install to a more specific URL, as the current wildcard binding will take all web (port 80) traffic coming to the server.

SSIS Foreach File Enumerator finds no files when executed from deployed package

I've seen this question asked several times but never with a satisfacory answer. I have read through all the posts I can related to this and tried as much as I possibly can.
I have an SSIS package that loops thru a network folder of Excel files, I won't explain what it does inseide the loop container as that is not relevant.
I refernce the folder via a UNC \servername\folder
The package works fine from within Visual Studio.
I deployed the package to the Integration Services Catalogs on the
server
After I deploy, I connect to the server from my local pc via SSMS and then I execute it from SSMS via "Integration Services Catalogs"... Execute - This fails.
However If I remote desktop onto the SQL Server box, then start SSMS, connect to the SQL Server using my own credentials and execute the package using exactly the same method as above it works fine.
When I look in the logs of the failed attempts I see a warning that "The For Each File enumerator is empty". I'm not sure if this is telling the full story as, if I rename the network folder, I get the same message, (I expected to see an error that the folder was not found) - this may or may not be relevant.
I've sketched up a quick overview of what works and what doesn't
NOTE The "script execution" method is just a t-sql script for running these packages. This is the method I will use eventually but at the moment I'm focusing on the simple right-click execute method as this essentially does the same thing.
Since I did this I have tried a few more things...
I've tried accessing the folder as a UNC, a mapped drive and also UNC using IP address instead of server name.
I recreated the issue on our development server so I could change
service accounts etc.
I tried the default accounts on both SSIS and SQL Agent services.
I tried changing these to domain accounts and network service accounts.
I get the package to log the folder name which is and expression - this always looks correct. I do the same with the user name which always shows me as the exection user.
I can change most things as I can test on the development server with the excpetion of testing with a domain admin account so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

DNN theme not loaded after migration

I'm absolutely new to DNN world, and I have to migrate a bunch of websites from a web server to another.
Following my expectations and some "guide" on the web, i did:
Exported SqlServer databases from old server
Imported all databases in new server
Copied the whole c:\inetput\vhosts directory from old server to the new one
Created manually the vhosts entries in IIS to host the websites (setting the vhost on the httpdocs dir and converting to application the subfolder "portal"
After some problem with app pool, user permissions, database user configurations etc. i reached to get websites running.
But what it happens is that the websites seems to load the default "theme" instead of the one that was using in production server. What did I forgot?
There is likely an Error that is being thrown with the current "skin" so you'll need to get into the Event Viewer (under the admin page) if you can get logged in, or into the EventLog table in the database to see what errors are being thrown.

Solr Admin Page Shows No Information

I'm in the process of trying to get Solr running for my company. I've installed 4.10.3 on a server and have indexed the example docs that come with the zip file. When I start Jetty and go to localhost:8983 in the browser I see the admin screen as expected. But when I use the server's full name instead of localhost, I get the following result:
The information panel is completely empty, while using the localhost URL shows the expected graphs and information. I'm running a Win 2008 R2 server. What is preventing me from seeing this information?
The next step is to then try connecting to the same implementation from a client computer using the server's URL, but I have a feeling I need to get this straight before I get to that step.

SQL Server 2014 Unattended Install

I'm running through the SQL Server 2014 install wizard, stopping before I get to the final step and then trying to use the Configuration.inf file to do "silentInstalls" on multiple servers. But, in the wizard I set the services (Ex: SQL Agent, ...) to a domain user, which requires a password. That password information is not included in the Configuration.inf file, so the unattended install obviously fails.
Questions:
I have to use a domain user if I am going to be using replication and other resources that require the SQL Server to communicate with each other, right?
How do I include the password for the domain service user in the Config.inf file?
Thanks,
Chris
I don't know what else you're using, but you don't need to use a domain user for replication. You can use a SQL account if you'd like (the documentation says so).
For the password issue, take a look at the list of parameters you can pass setup.exe (here). You can mix and match parameters and a config.ini. As such, you can set it up such that all you specify via command line switches is the various passwords you'll need (assuming that the service account is the same between all of your installs).

.svc handler for IIS Server

While configuring the SQL Server 2012 Master Data Services, I am having following problem
The required .svc handler mappings are not installed in IIS.
What I want to do is that, I want to query my database using a URL so that I can retrieve data directly using the URL it self just like we can store the querystring parameters into SQL Server
How do I deal with it, I followed several documents but not any ideas.
To fix this issue, open a command prompt and go to the .NET directory
(for example %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319).
Run the command: aspnet_regiis –i
For further details check:SVC Handler mapping error in MDS Configuration Manager
I've come across these types of errors a few times when installing MDS, the problem usually comes about because just having IIS installed is not enough, there are loads of other role services and features that you need to enable and install as well which the setup program doesn't tell you about.
Thankfully they are all documented here:
Web Application Requirements (Master Data Services)
And, if you've missed any, you can go back, install them and then re-launch the configuration tool to complete the setup without having to re-install MDS from scratch.
