No reporting services instance found on localhost

hi..

i'm a newbie in ms reporting services. i'm having this problem to deploy the report. when i try to configure the report server using configuration tool, it says that

"No report server were found on the specified machine

Details : Invalid namespace"

i installed ms rs 2005 enterprise ed and had chosen to instal everything.

i've tried using rsconfig in command prompt and gotten this message:

'No Reporting Services instance found on localhost'

    Can you check the file system and/or IIS Management Tool

    - In the IIS Management tool, you should see  /ReportServer and /Reports  applications

    - On your filesystem, look in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services (it might not be MSSQL.3 depending on what SQL components you installed). You should see the following folders:

    LogFiles
    ReportManager
    ReportServer

    hi russell,

    thanks for your reply. i don't have the MSSQL.3 folder. just realized by default that while setting up windows xp, the IIS is not installed by default.

    i've installed IIS. so must i uninstal ms sql svr 2k5 and re-instal again

    thanks!

    Hello,

    If the above two entries in the IIS management tool is missing. Everything else is OK. What to do

    Thanks

    I receive this error when attempting to execute rsconfig to setup unattended account. The web sites are there in IIS and folders are there. I can hit the reports web site and see the reports.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    After you have IIS installed, you can just modify the existing SQL install and add the SSRS components :)

    No, if you don't have them, you don't have SSRS installed.
