sql server reporting services:
I just installed SP2 for 2005 standard edition and am getting the following
error when trying to use report server:

"The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not
valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'C.0.8.54'. The expected
version is 'C.0.8.43'. To continue, update the version of the report server
database and verify access rights. (rsInvalidReportServerDatabase)"

When I go into Reporting service configuration tool, the update button
returns the following:

"The database version matches your Reporting services installation"

and the database version is reported as 'C.0.8.54'.

this is critical and I need to get this up and running again. Any ideas?

Have you installed any SQL service packs BEFORE adding other parts
like 'reporting services'

Also, there was a critical patch sent through windows update that
updates SQL server. Not sure if that is causing you problems.

SP1 was already installed. reporting services was installed pre sp1.

I've narrowed down the sequence of events that lead to this issue. It seems
there was a reporting services update that was installed without my knowledge
that was intended for sp2 installs. SP2 wasn't installed yet. even though
sp2 is now installed, i still get the error message listed previously.

Is there a possibility that you actually have two different db's and your
reportserver instance is pointed at the "wrong" one frm the POV of the one
that your web application thinks it should connect to?

This might have happened if the person applying the update is not the
administrator of the box. See
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/forums/shwmessage.aspx?forumid=150&messageid=293213

It can also happen if you apply the update in the wrong identity, even if
you are an administrator (I know that from personal experience <sigh> FWIW
the ReportServer database has a sprocwhere this is hard coded. I kid you
not. I think it gets adjusted during upgrades with a file called
catalog.sql. )

Short version of the fix described in that thread: you have to stop IIS and
RS and copy the files that were truly upgraded to the correct location --
but you should probably read the thread.

HTH,

I actually have this fixed now, it was caused by the sp2 upgrade. I
uninstalled rs, reinstalled and applied sp2 once again and all is fine.
Reports cam back properly, but the data sources had to be reconfigured. No
biggie.

Thanks for your suggestions though.
