I am trying to open Sql Server 2008 Management Studio Reporting Services on a Windows Server 2008 server, but getting an error stating that aReport Services Instance could not be found . I tried configuring it in Reporting Services Configuration Manager , and finding the following:
1) In Web Service URL , there is an "!" icon with a message stating that: "Report Server Web Service is not configured. Default values have been provided to you. To accept these defaults simply press the Apply button, else change them and then press Apply." Selecting Apply simply refreshes the same message... it does not go away. TheResults message states:
- Reserving url http://+:80 (checked)
- The Url has already been reserved.
2) In Report Manager URL , there is an "!" icon stating that I need to "Configure Web Service Url before the Report Manager Virtual Directory," which I am assuming will be possible once I figure out why Web Service URL can't be configured.
All of the SQL Services are running, and can be start/stopped, including the Report Service. Not sure where the Url has been reserved... (this is an uninstall/reinstall of SQL Server). Is this a registry entry that perhaps is an artifact in the registry?
