Problems deploying ReportViewer to IIS 7.5

[Simon]

Hi,
This all works fine in the IDE but can't get it working with IIS. I have gone through the guides but without success (here)
The main issue I'm getting is: 
  loading...
  Error loading the report viewer's templates
 
Is there a practical guide to MVC+IIS deployment? For instance is there a guide to deploying the official example:
\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\Reporting Q3 2013\Examples\CSharp\MvcDemo

MVC4
Windows 7 64 bit 
Q3 2013 Release - ReportViewer-7.2.13.1016
VS2012

I'm doing it like this:

@using Telerik.ReportViewer.Mvc

@(Html.TelerikReporting().ReportViewer()
    .Id("reportViewer1")
    .ServiceUrl("/api/reports/")
    .TemplateUrl("/ReportViewer/templates/telerikReportViewerTemplate.html")
    .ReportSource(new Telerik.Reporting.TypeReportSource() { TypeName = "ReportClassLib.Report2, ReportClassLib" })
    .ViewMode(Telerik.ReportViewer.Mvc.ViewModes.INTERACTIVE)
    .ScaleMode(Telerik.ReportViewer.Mvc.ScaleModes.SPECIFIC)
    .Scale(1.0)
    .PersistSession(true)

Thanks
Simon.

Solved - The problem was with the way I was creating the ServiceUrl and TemplateUrl, they need to get wrapped in a Url.Content("~/.. call in order to have the correct base url when deployed to IIS:

@(Html.TelerikReporting().ReportViewer()
        .Id("reportViewer1")
        .ServiceUrl(Url.Content("~/api/reports/"))
        .TemplateUrl(Url.Content("~/ReportViewer/templates/telerikReportViewerTemplate.html"))

The hours I wasted on this!

hi

i just trying to get the Telerik HTML Report viewer to work in an mvc web forms app that is named Reports.
It appears the project being named Reports causes issues for the report viewer.
Whenever trying to run the project , I get the error:    Error loading the report viewer's templates.
(Template = ../api/reports/resources/templates/telerikReportViewerTemplate-html).

Hello Geniver,

The error indicates connectivity problem between the Reporting REST Service and HTML5 Viewer.
For more details and solutions, please check HTML5 Viewer Troubleshooting.
