Crystal Reports “Load Report Failed” error running report on the server

Question

I am getting error "load report failed" on server, it runs without error on localhost. I am using VS 2008 with .Net 3.5.

This is my code:

ReportDocument reportDocument = new ReportDocument();
    String filePath = @"C:\abcSpaces\abc.com\xyz.com\wwwroot\Order Fulfilment.rpt";//full path
// I have tried OrderFullfilment.rpt and ~/OrderFullfilment.rpt and /OrderFullfilment.rpt
    try
    {
        reportDocument.Load(filePath);
        CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = reportDocument;
    }
    catch(Exception ex){
        Label1.Text = ex.Message;
}

Aspx Page part:

<CR:CrystalReportViewer ID="CrystalReportViewer1" runat="server" Height="1291px"
        ReuseParameterValuesOnRefresh="True" Width="1125px" />

^I have tried using

<CR:CrystalReportSource ID="CrystalReportSource1" runat="server">
        <Report FileName="expenseRep_summary.rpt">
        </Report>
</CR:CrystalReportSource>

with no luck off course...

my web.config section for referencing assemblies:

I have tried all of these solutions posted in stackoverflow:

CrystalReport Load report failed (no I can't change registry or re-install crystal reports, my site is hosted on external server)

load report failed (where the hell is objReport??)

I got the problem in Crystal Report- Error Messsage:Load report failed (I have no object reffering to Report class :S)

Load report failed when implementing crystal report in asp.net 3.5 (I tried this '~' technique + Absolute path and none works)

Load report failed in Windows server 2003 (I have set read write execute permissions to every file)

https://stackguides.com/questions/3337185/crystal-report-giving-load-failed-error (this guy like me, hasn't found the solution yet :P )

So please please please help me! Or my client will eat me alive...

I know this is an old post. but For anyone still looking for the answer:

You need to register crystal reports in page markup

<% @ Register Assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"
    Namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web" TagPrefix="CR" %>

Set the property 'Copy to Output Directory' of the report to 'Copy always'

the path of the file in the crystalreportsource will be ~/bin/YOURFOLDER/YOURFILE

<CR: CrystalReportSource ID ="CrystalReportSource1" runat ="server">
            <Report FileName="~/bin/oilmovement/rptOMDayEnd.rpt">
            </Report>
        </CR: CrystalReportSource>

Now the report should work
