RS Post installation problem


RS Post installation problem TriggerFish

sql server reporting services:
When RS completed installation a message was dispalyed saying that the
installation was successful, but that RS was unable to initialise.

Now whenever I try to access the http://servername/reports site, I get the
following error.

"
Compilation Error
Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required
to service this request. Please review the following specific error details
and modify your source code appropriately.

Compiler Error Message: CS0016: Could not write to output file
'c:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET
Files\reports\dc088531\5500274e\yip07jmq.dll' -- 'Access is denied. '
"

I think both problems are security/permissions related.

The sever is running Win2k3. I actually had it running fine previously, but
cannot replicate the successful installation on other servers or this one
upon reinstallation.

I have tried giving up to administrator rights to the ASPNET account with no
success.

Advice on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I just tried a reinstall to get the warning message at the end of
installation. It reads:

"Setup has installed Microsoft SQL server 2000 Reporting Services
Successfully. Click Finish to exit.

Setup could not initialize the report server. You must manually initialize
the report server before using it for the first time. For more information,
see the Reporting Services setup documentation"

I have yet to find anything in the setup documentation, so help would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

Alex McKellar.

For future reference and anyone who might read this later, I found the
problem.

The Network Service of the server on which RS in installed needs access to
the %systemroot%\temp directory. It also appeared to me that it needed
access to any "temp" directory environment variables that have been setup on
the server. I had two and once I gave access to both, all worked fine.

FYI for anyone that is interested.

Regards,

Alex.
