I have an urgent problem which I hope someone can help me with.

After installation, I was told by the wizard that I needed to initialize the report server manually...

So I went to:

http://uacl-sql2/reports

It redirects to:
http://uacl-sql2/reports/Pages/Folder.aspx

And I get the following error:


An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. (rsInternalError) Get Online Help The system cannot find the file specified.


Does anyone know how to fix this....I have ensured that my Reports folder allows everyone to have full access....so I do not believe it is a security issue?????

Help!

I can only think that you may have to use rsactivate (a command line utility
installed with Reporting Services). The syntax would be:


rsactivate -m RSServerName -u Username -p Password.

where username and password is the Windows account with admin priveleges to
the Reporting Services Service. This command would be run on the dbserver.
If this does not work you may need to use rsconfig (another installed
command line tool) prior to using rsactivate. rsconfig sets the connection
to the ReportServer database and the options can be viewed with rsconfig /?.
This should add the symetric keys in and activate or initialize the server.
Hope this helps.

I ran the rsactivate utility as you suggested and was returned with:

"Unable to find Reporting Services WMI namespace =
on <machinename>. Reporting Services may not be installed"

Very odd....any suggestions?

Jared,
I would check the ReportServer service on the Report Server through
Administrative Tools\Services to see if it is started. If not, try to start
it and record any errors. Also, check to see if that service is set to logon
at NT Authority\NetworkService on the Log On ta in the properties of the
ReportServer Service itself. You may need to reinstall and one of the
options during install is how you want the service to start. Have you tried
rsconfig on the Report Server? Also, I assume that the Report Server and
ReportServer database are on the same system (from the name you specified in
the URL it appears to be the case but I am only assuming)?

Hi Rodney,

The rsconfig appeares to run fine. The service is also running fine, however I changed the login details to be an administrator, and restarted it.....

Something odd i did notice in the logs was the same error I get when attempting to initialize the report server i.e. The system cannot find the file specified.

I have pasted the log details below...any ideas?
