Reporting Services Instance could not be found

Hi

I am receiving an error message when I connect to Reporting Services in SQL Server 2005, the error is:

Cannot connect to <SERVER>

Reporting Services Instance could not be found (Microsoft.Sqlserver.Management.UI.RSClient)

Can anyone help with this please?

Thanks

Can you check if RS is configured properly by going to Start->All programs->Microsoft SQL Server 2005->Configuration Tools->Reporting Services Configuration? Connect to the instance that you are having trouble with.

Also, are you seeing this when navigating to http://<servername>/reports?

Thanks,
Sharmila

Hi

No the server I was installing on was running W2K, I decided to uninstall SQL Server 2005, delete the virtual directories and Application pool from ISS and delete any remaining data files for SQL Server 2005, then I reinstalled it all again and installed SP1 and everything seems to be working fine now. I think the problem was due to somebody else previously installing it incorrectly...

Thanks for your help!
