From: R Mariotti <R on
Hello,

I have been struggling with installing SQL Server 2005 Reporting services
for several days now, so I figured that I?d post my experience on this
TechNet to see if anyone has any suggestions. Basically, the Server Manager
always returns ?The request failed with HTTP status 400: Bad Request.? I?ve
read similar posts on TechNet, as well as other newsgroups about this issue,
and I will note where I have tried a solution below. Details about the
server this reporting services is being installed on is in NOTE 6, at the end
of this message.

When installing SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (came with my Visual
Studio 2005) on this server (for development/testing purposes), I choose to
install both the SQL Server Database Engine as well as Reporting Services.
As a test, I use the domain admin account, and install the new 2005 version
as a named instance: ?DEVELOPMENT?. When the installation proceeds to the
section to install Reporting Services, the install fails, with a note:

?Failed on Reporting Services setup:
The setup has encountered an unexpected error while setting reporting
service and share point exclusion path.?

Sharepoint doesn?t appear to have anything to do with this (see NOTE 1).
After Reporting Services fails to install, I have to click ?Cancel?, then
re-install Reporting Services from Add/Remove Programs->SQL Server
2005->Change. During the reinstall, the option to "Install but do not
configure the server" was preselected/disabled, so I had no option to install
and configure. A ?Details?? button next to this revealed a message, NOTE 2.
This re-install appears to be successful. Since I didn?t have the option to
install AND configure, I then open Reporting Services Configuration, and
connect to <server>, instance DEVELOPMENT.

In Reporting Services Config, I proceed to install the Report Server and
Report Manager Virtual Directories, give the Web Service the app pool of
DefaultAppPool, and proceed to Database Setup. Since this is a new install
and doesn?t have a Reports database, I click ?New?? to create the Reports db
on server <server>\DEVELOPMENT using ?Service Credentials?. At this point,
all ?Tasks? in the left pane of the Reports Services Config are check marks
except for ?Encryption?, which has a !, but I understand this is optional.
Now for IIS:

In IIS, I see both the Reports and ReportServer virtual directories under
Default Web Site, which currently listens on IP: 192.168.16.2, port 80 and
443 (SSL). In prior posts, I see some have achieved success by changing to
?All Unassigned?, but I have other web sites that listen on other IP
addresses, so this is not a good option, and shouldn?t be required. The
DefaultAppPool runs under Identity: ?Network Service?.

When I go to http://cfsdev/ReportServer, things seem to work, as it just
displays basic text, see NOTE 3. However, when I browse to:
http://cfsdev/Reports, I am greeted with a red error image, along with ?The
request failed with HTTP status 400: Bad Request.? There are no events in
the Event Log when this happens. The only details on what?s happening behind
the scenes is in a file E:\Program Files\SQL Server 2005\MSSQL.2\Reporting
Services\LogFiles\ReportServerWebApp__03_21_2006_14_06_06.log, details in
NOTE 4.

I have, in prior attempts, changed the ReportServerURL key in the
RSWebApplication.config file under Report Manager to:
<ReportServerUrl>https://cfsdev/ReportServer</ReportServerUrl>, but still no
change in behavior. It is currently changed back to it?s default, see NOTE
5. I get similar results when browsing from a LAN client or on the actual
server computer.

So I?m out of ideas, and I need this development installation to support and
develop reporting apps for my production SQL Server 2005. Anyone with ideas,
please help!

NOTE 1:
I have tried uninstalling SharePoint
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=829114), then retrying the install fresh
(after an uninstall of SQL Server 2005), but the ?Failed on Reporting
Services setup? error persists. So share point doesn?t appear to be the
issue.

NOTE 2:
?The prerequisite check failed for a default report server installation:
First time install, the SQL instance is either not selected or is not a
local install?

Try setting your Default Website IP address to <All Unassigned>. Worked for
me on a SQL 2000 RS installation today.

From: R Mariotti on
Yeah, I had read that solution a few times during my research. Problem is,
the machine is a SBS2003 machine and therefore runs ISA Server with an
internal and external NIC. Additionally, the internal NIC hosts multiple web
sites on different IPs. For example:

ROUTER
|
192.168.1.2 (external NIC)
|
ISA SERVER
|
192.168.16.2 (web site 1)
192.168.16.3 (web site 2)

So you can see that setting "All Unassigned" won't work as I need ISA
Server's web publishing rules to be able to forward requests to a specific
site.

As a test, however, I created yet another test web site, manually re-created
the "reports" and "reportserver" virtual directories, and set the site to All
Unassigned. Still no luck; that test site has since been removed.

Thanks for the suggestion...

From: Sean on
The below solution is working for me.

1) make up backup copy of both Rsreportserver and RSwebapplication.config
files
2) In RsReportServer.config file change the
<UrlRoot>http://machine/ReportServer</UrlRoot> to
<UrlRoot>http://hostheadername/ReportServer</UrlRoot>

3) And in RSWebapplication.config file, remove the
<ReportServerVirtualDirectory>/ReportServer</ReportServerVirtualDirectory>

and change the

<ReportServerUrl>http://machinename/ReportServer</ReportServerUrl> to
<ReportServerUrl>http://hostheadername/ReportServer</ReportServerUrl>

4) Recycle the IIS server (ie. start ? run ? iisreset)
