Cant start report server

Hey all. I'm using SQL server Express and I've installed the Report service. When I go into the reporting services configuration manager and I want to start the service, the system won't let me. Here is the error

System.ServiceProcess.TimeoutException: Time out has expired and the operation has not been completed.
at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus desiredStatus, TimeSpan timeout)
at ReportServicesConfigUI.Panels.ServerInformationPanel.StartStopServiceTask(Boolean start)

I just can't seem to be able to start the service.

Can you plz help?

Thanks

Hi,

Based on my understanding, this error message is caused by the permission issue. You should take a look at the Report Server logs, and make sure you are configuring locally and you are administrator on the machine. And re-modify your reporting service configuration in the following way:

1. Created ReportService database using Report Service Configuration
2. Edited your personal account to Web Service Account in rsreportserver.config
3. Used rsconfig utility to encrypt the connection and account information
4. Edited your personal account to <processModel userName=" " >

If the problem still exists, you should try the following methods.

Set the Report Server Web service and Report Manager to use the same application pool.

Thank you for your answer. But how can I create a reportservice database if I can't connect to the service?

++ Where do I go to

Set the Report Server Web service and Report Manager to use the same application pool.

Add the security account to the SQLServer2005ReportingServicesWebServiceUser$InstanceName group that you use for the application pool identity.
