Configure Report Server with SQL Server Express with Advanced Services.

I am having trouble with SQL Express Reporting services.

When going to http:/localhost/reports I get the following error message:

"The report server is not responding. Verify that the report server is running and can be accessed from this computer."

In configuring the Report Server Virtual Directory, it would not let me set the name as "Report Server", so I named it "Report Server2".

I have tried uninstalling .NET framework v2 and reinstalling, but this does not help.

Any ideas?

By default, Express Advanced installs Report Server to a name instance, so you should be trying to get to http://localhost/reports$sqlexress. A default installation should have configured the virtual directory for you.

You can open SQL Server Configuration Manager and it will show you if the reporting service is running and if it has a name.
