Error using Reporting services

Greetings,

Iam new to reporting services. When I try to launch http:\\localhost\reports

I get the following error

The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'Unknown'. The expected version is 'C.0.8.20'. To continue, update the version of the report server database and verify access rights. (rsInvalidReportServerDatabase)

Please help

Thanks/Regards

I get the same message. Only the version is different.

ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.WMIProviderException: The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'Unknown'. The expected version is 'C.0.8.40'. To continue, update the version of the report server database and verify access rights. (rsInvalidReportServerDatabase)

By profiler I saw the trying to use of SP GetDBVersion, but this SP not present.

What is it and where can I download the update?

Thanks/Regards

|||This is usually an issue where RS is configured to the wrong DB. You should use the config tool to configure RS to a ReportServer DB.|||What is "wrong DB"? I create NEW DB for RS from RS config.|||Did you ensure that RS is configured to use that DB? Just creating the DB does not configure RS to use it.|||So how do we do that? Pardon my ignorance with SQL, it's my weakest point. The error I personally get is: The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing. (rsReportServerDatabaseUnavailable) In the Configure Report Server SSRS is configured properly, & I can log into that account in the Management Studio, but I cannot open http://localhost/reports. Any ideas? Thanks!|||In the ReportServer Configuration tool, does the Database tab have a green check? If not you need to go to that tab and choose the Report Server Database that you want to use.|||Thank you for your kind reply. Yes, I have a successful connection in the Report Server Configuration. I think I may have 2 instances of Reporting Server, however, & one didn't get the green icon. I figured when I re-installed, it overwrote the existing files, but as I'm poking around I see 2 instances. Would this be causing the problem?|||

Daniel,

Your last post asking if I got the green icon for the database connection made me think about the fact that perhaps I was trying to connect to the old instance of ssrs (as you can see in my post made about a half hour ago). Thanks for leading me in the right direction, because that was it!! It didn't make sense that it wasn't connecting to the database if that connection was configured properly in the Configuration Manager. I now can view the Report page.

Thanks again,

Kim

I did step by step in RS config. When I came to configure DB, RS created DB, but coundn't configure it. By first it coundn't create RSRoleExec, I did this. Next it began show the message about virsion. But the left mark is green, and "Initialization" is not enabled.

Sir ,

I get the same error and i use the SQL server 2000 version. Where can i find the configuration tool. I tried to run the rsconfig.exe with the requisite details but it did not work. Please let me know what is to be done.

Thanks a lot

Vijay

|||This issue can be also due to Report Server is configured to the wrong Database, choose Report Server Database that you want to use with the help of Report Server Configuration tool.
