Configuring Report Services for 64 bit SQL 2005

Hi all

Can anyone help?

I have installed reporting services for 64 bit SQL and I am having a problem configuring it correctly so that I can access the reports manager on http://localhost/reports.

I have studied various SQL server 2005 bibles and looked at information on the microsoft support site but nothing seems to be helping me.

I get the impression that it could be a problem with the IIS server.

Can anyone give me a complete run down on how to set up and configure the reporting services so that it will actually work. Every step of the way please.

Thanks

Hi Alex. Are you using a default instance of the SQL Server 2005 installation or did you use a named instance? Also, what error are you getting when you attempt to access report manager?

I am using a default instance.

When I am trying to access the report manager the internet page isnt loading at all.

I am getting the usual IE screen where url cannot be found.

Try Http://Servername/Reports and see what you get....

Can you open the RS config tool and make sure that all sections are configured properly. You should see a green icon if everything is configured correctly.

Thanks,
