Reporting Services Installation Problem - help requested

  • Hello - I'm almost at my wits end trying to get Reporting Services installed. I've been pouring through anything I can find online (mostly the SQL Server 2005 online book at MSDN). I have SQL Server 2005 installed on one server and I have a separate box I'd like to use for my web server (IIS and ASP.NET are all installed and working fine).

    Here's a run-down of my installation process:

    Running installation on web server (DEVWEB) logged in as a domain

    user (user exists on both web server and database server)

    During Setup

    ------------

    Instance Name: Default Instance

    Service Account: Windows domain account fi\devadmin

    All product installations complete with no errors:

    SQL Setup Support Files

    OWC11

    SQL Server Backward-Compatibility Files

    Reporting Services

    MSXML6

    SQL Native Client

    Workstation Components, Books Onlin...

    Next run "Reporting Services Configuration" utility.

    Instance Selection:

    Machine Name: DEVWEB

    Instance Name: MSSQLSERVER

    Select "Connect" button

    Server Status and Windows Service Identity have green checks.

    Select "Report Server Virtual Directory"

    Click "New" and choose defaults

    Website: Default Web Site

    Virtual Directory: Report Server

    Click OK button & wait

    - Create Virutal Directory (green check)

    - Changing Secure Connection Level (green check)

    - Updating Report Server URLs (green check)

    Report Server Virtual Directory now has a green check

    Select "Report Manager Virtual Directory"

    Click "New" and choose defaults

    Website: Default Web Site

    Virtual Directory: Reports

    Click OK button & wait

    - Create Virtual Directory (green check)

    Report Manager Virtual Directory now has a green check

    Select "Web Service Identity"

    ASP .NET Service account, accept default setting of "NT Authority\NetworkService"

    Choose "ReportServer" from drop down for both Report Server and Report Manager application pools.

    Click Apply button & wait

    - Setting Web Service Identity (green check)

    - Setting Report Manager Identiy (green check)

    Web Service Identity now has a green check

    Select "Database Setup"

    Click "Connect" button.

    Specify Server Name: DEVSQL

    Credintials Type: SQL Server Account

    Username: sa

    Password: ***********

    Click "New" for Database Name and choose defaults:

    Server Name: DEVSQL

    Credentials Type: sa

    Password: ***********

    Database Name: ReportServer

    Language: English

    Back on the Database Connection Window:

    Server Name: DevSQL

    Database Name: ReportServer

    Credentials Type: Windows Credentials

    Account Name: fi\devadmin

    Password: **********

    Click "Apply"

    In SQL Server Connection Dialog,

    Server Name: DEVSQL (grayed out)

    Credentials Type: SQL Server Account

    Username: sa

    Password: **********

    Click OK

    - Verifying Database Edition (green check)

    - Verifying Database Version (green check)

    - Creating a Grant Rights script for fi\devadmin (green check)

    - Assigning Reporting Services Rights to User (green check)

    - Setting Connection Info for Reporting Services (yellow exclamation)

    -- "Although saving the database connection succeeded, the report server

    -- cannot access internal information about this deployment to determine

    -- whether the current configuration is valid for this edition. If you

    -- are configuring a scale-out deployment, be sure that you initialize

    -- any new report servers from one that is already part of the

    -- deployment."

    Database Setup now has a green check.

    When I try to click on "Initialization" I am given the following pop-up

    error message:

    "There was an error while switching panels. The most likely cause is an

    error retreiving WMI properties. The exception details are: An error

    occurred when attempting to connect to the report server remote

    procedure call (RPC) end point. Verify that the Report Server Windows

    service is running, and then retry the operation. Details: The RPC

    server is not listenting. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706B3)"

    Click OK and Initialization remains a red circle with a white X.

    Examine Windows Services to see:

    - RPC is started and running

    - SQL Server Reporting Service (MSSQLSERVER) is started and running

    Looking in logfile in this directory:

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\Reporting Services\LogFiles

    The following ERROR is listed:

    ReportingServicesService!library!8!7/10/2008-12:50:22::

    e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ReportServerDatabaseUnavailable

    Exception: The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database.

    A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing., ;

    Info: Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ReportServerDatabaseUnavailable

    Exception: The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database.

    A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing.

    ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

    When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default

    settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

    (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)

    The ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB databases are created and the domain user appears to have all of the necessary permissions.

    Sorry to be so long winded - I keep getting hung up at the same point and I have found no help in books or online yet - does anyone have any ideas of what I am doing wrong?

    Thanks!

    -Mark.
