Problems Configuration Report Server

  • I have SQL 2005 with SP 1.  I am in the reporting services configuration manager and I am at the point where the following options have green circles with checkmarks:

    Server Status

    Report Server Virtual Directory

    Report Manager Virtual Directory

    Windows Service Identity

    Web Service Identity

    Database Setup

    Encryption Keys is a blue circle with an exclamation point with the choices Backup, Restore, Change and Delete.  I choose Backup and gave the key a password and clicked ok but the applied button at the bottom stayed grayed out.

    Below the Encryption Keys button is Initialization and that is in a gray circle with a checkmark.  Since it is gray I can not select it. 

    What is it that the configuration manager is waiting for me to do?

    I tried going into the SQL Server Management Studio to see if I could connect to the Report Server from there.  I get an error message saying "Cannot connect to RBDS01.   The request failed with HTTP Status 400:  Bad Request.  (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient)

    I would appreciate any ideas as to what I need to do so that I can connect to the Report Server?

    Thanks.

  • I am not sure why your Initialization is greyed out, you basically need to Initialize SQL Server Instance that is running the Reporting Services in order to access the Reporting Services. Was it greyed out prior to taking a backup of the encryption keys?

  • Tuned out that I just needed to go to IIS and start the website and make sure the website was started.

    Thanks to all who provided input.
