Dom thanks for replying. After a little reading here

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143736.aspx

I still did not have success, so I decided to use one of my MS partner tickets. I was on the phone for 4+ hours on Friday and its still FUBAR. I had the guy stumped. We were able to work around the 401 problem, but now it looks like some sort of a DNS or IP routing problem.

BTW - beware of aspnet_RegIIS I think this hosed a website on this box that it .Net 1.1. It's been a disaster. The website works but the rendering of Treeview controls is hosed. I need an urgent fix for this now.

Tomorrow, I will talk to my MS tech support guy and see what's up. The current problem is that report manager times out trying to reach report server, even though I can browse Report server directly? it makes no sense.

On top of this, i have 2 other servers where it works great. Hang on for more updates.

As a FYI, before you go and try aspnet_regiis on anything other than a test server the postings at the link below. The command looks benin, but as usual, there are unknown side effects depending on what's running on the box.

http://geekswithblogs.net/paulmehner/archive/2005/08/03/48970.aspx

They recommend that you use:

aspnet_regiis -ir -enable - Installs ASP.NET version with root and enables it.

aspnet_regiis -s path - Registers script map for our Application.

Hope this helps

Dom, I'm still working on this with my new friends at Microsoft. I will post back when I have an update.

Ok, Dom I got my problem resolved but I don't have a great explanation of how I fixed it. Send me some particulars of your problem and I'll try to squeeze out some time to respond.

Some how the custom HTTP headers on the web site contained a HTTP definition (I think this was when I ran the .NET registration utility). When the Reports manager site got loaded, it called the report server site (via Web services I presume) and when IIS put the HTML type in the header (if overrode the XML type) and the page got a 500 error (Server not responding) in the logs.

For Days we believed the URL was wrong, yet we could browse there in IE. Turned off custom HTTP headers and report manager page loads right up.

Good Luck

Doug

Hi Doug,

I've eventually come back to this....tried a fresh install on another PC...Windows 2000, SQL Server 2005 SP2 Developer version. All seems to install fine.

Reporting Services Configuration - fine

PC running as a web server - fine

SSMS - fine (both ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB installed)

BUT, cannot access Reporting Services through SSMS - operation timed out

nor, using SAC for features, under Reporting Services, when cliking on the Windows Integrated Security option, it freezes and doesn't respond.

nor, going to http://machinename/reports I get the message Server Application Unavailable.

Here are a couple of logs:
