Hi,

I am getting the following error whenever I try to open the reportserver 2005 default web page

http://home/reportserver

Reporting Services Error

SURFACE AREA CONFIGURATION TOOL
SQL Server 2005 -> Reporting Services -> Integrated Security hangs 60 seconds

Next, long error stack trace follows with a message near the beginning ...

The report server can not open a connection to the SQL Server database.

All of my instances are up and running.
All of my instances allow both Windows Authentication and SQL Server Authentication.
Each has an sa password. (They are all the same.) I have tested each and can connect to each instance.
All of my instances allow remote connections. I have up'ed the connection timeout to 60 seconds.

Any ideas?

Any place that I could look to find SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services database connection Troubleshooting documentation?

Thank you very much.

This error sounds like reporting services cannot communicate to the reportservices database, which is just a standard sql server 2005 database. Are you hosting the database server and reporting services on the same physical machine?|||

JonM,

Yes, I am hosting SQL Server 2005 Developers Edition database edition and SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Developer Edition reporting server on the same machine. I just went through the regular install.

Any directions to try to start debugging this problem?

|||The first thing to do is to go the 'Reporting Services Configuration Manager' Please make sure there is a green check mark next to everything (except encryption keys and execution accounts). Many common problems can be diagnosed here. Specifically make sure the 'Database Setup' looks correct.|||

Yes,

The SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition Report Server and the SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition Database Server are on the same machine.

I also did the following ...

Went into Report Server configuration ...

Set and Tested the login creditions to be

SQL Server Credentials

.

SA

password

I used a . for the local database. That all worked fine.

Next, I changed the Execution Account to be .\Administrator.

That seems O.K.

Next, I changes the Reporting Services Service to run under .\Administrator.

I shut down and restarted everything.

When I do : http://localhost/reportserver

Now, I get a new message:

Reporting Services Error
