Anyone have ideas on this one?
I have a brand new install of SQL Server 2012 on a clean Windows Server 2008 R2 installation, and the Reporting Services service will not start, never has. Reporting Services was installed in "files only" mode, so it still needs configuring. However, attempting to start the service from the RS Configuration tool gives me a generic timeout error, and the event log shows the following, more detailed error:
--
Service cannot be started. System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Number must be either non-negative and less than or equal to Int32.MaxValue or -1.
Parameter name: millisecondsTimeout
at System.Threading.Thread.JoinInternal(Int32 millisecondsTimeout)
at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.ServiceAppDomainController.Start()
at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.ReportService.OnStart(String[] args)
at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.ServiceQueuedMainCallback(Object state)
--
These are the steps I have taken so far, with no success (attempted to start the service between each of these):
- Tried running RS Configuration Tool "as administrator" to start the service
- Looked in the RSReportServer.config file and uncommented the following lines which were commented out:ProcessTimeout, value=150; ProcessTimeoutGcExtension, value=30
- Ran a repair on my SQL 2012 instance
- Completely uninstalled the Reporting Services feature, rebooted the server and re-installed the Reporting Services feature onto my existing instance
The event log error message above has been consistent on all attempts.
I am not very familiar with the low-level architecture of windows server, which seems to be where the problem is originating -- but I SINCERELY hope there is a resolution short of re-installing the OS...
Thanks in advance!
