Database does not initialize on SSRS 2005

  • Hi,

    I'm at a dead end - trying to get the SSRS database to initialize. I'm using the configuration utility to do 'Database setup' - and it goes through ok as far as 'Setting Connection Info for Report Server' - and then reports that it could not access internal information about the deployment. I've tried deleting the encryted data - but that fails too. I've tried creating new databases using Windows credentials and sa credentials. Always fails with the same error. I tried using rsconfig to specify the credentials - and whilst rsconfg worked - it didn't make the database 'initialized'.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

  • Still haven't resolved this issue.

    I read somewhere about licensing.....

    I'm using SQL Server standard addition with a single server license.

    When I installed Reporting Services 2005 - I created a separate instance from MSSQLSERVER ie. REPSER2005INS.

    Could this be causing a problem? Is there any way to tell Reporting services to use MSSQLSERVER instead of the one I told it to use initially?

  • I'm guessing you already installed SP2? Did you do the database upgrade after the Service Pack? That threw me a bit the first time I saw it, but I don't remember the exact error message I was seeing.

    Can you post the exact message you are getting in your logs?

    Thanks.

  • I finally resolved it.....

    The problem was that somebody (unbeknownest to me!!!) had installed SQL Server Personal Eddition (as they had trouble reading the Standard editoin CD - ).

    It's not immediately obvious that it's Personal edition - but you can detect this by looking at the build number. The version build number 8.00.2039 is SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition w/ SP4.

    (select @@version)

    It was a fairly easy job toi upgrade it to Standard Edition.
