I am using Visual studio 2012 with framwork 4.5 for my website

and SQL server 2014 with its SSRS reporting feature for reports.

When I used 2012 SQL version it works fine,

but on the live server SQL 2014 is installed and I got the following error.
"The attempt to connect to the report server failed.
Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version."

What I have tried:

Code on my local machine is running fine where SQl is 2012 and Visual studio 2012 with 4.5 framework.

While on the server, SQL is 2014 and framework is 4.5

The error message is pretty explicit:

"The attempt to connect to the report server failed. 
Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible version."

It even tells you what you have to do!
So read the message, look at your connection strings, look at the versions, and see what is happening.

Sorry, but we cannot do any of that for you: we don't have access to your systems, much less the code you are using to access them!
