Troubleshooting
Problem
Administrator launches "Controller Configuration", and opens section 'Report Server'. Administrator clicks on green 'test' (tick/check) button. After a *short* period of time (for example only 4 or 5 seconds) an error message appears. To try to diagnose/troubleshoot it, the administrator launches the Disapatcher URI web address in their browser (e.g. Internet Explorer). Instead, of seeing the expected website, they see a lot of XML text.
