Installation woes

Hello all,
I am attempting to install RS onto the following machine:
Win2k3 Domain Controller
SQL Standard
I have installed RS successfully, however at the end of the installation it
instructs me that it could not be activated.
I run rsactivate without success...
When I type http://ipaddress/reports I recieve an error Http 404 file not
found...
What have I done wrong?
Cheers
AshThis is the MS docs:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/rsinstall/htm/gs_installingrs_v1_8k82.asp
This may help more

A Google search should also render a whole bunch.

Still it doesn't work.

Here is what I would have attempted with my knowledge.
1. Check that the virtual directory exists in IIS.
2. The default page on the Reports directory is called Home.aspx, ensure it
is there.
From your example try http://ipaddress/reports/Home.aspx
3. Maybe IIS is blocking aspx pages, so put "aaa.htm" and a "aaa.txt" on the
virtual directory, see if you can get to them.
4. Create a test virtual directory, allow anonymous access, and put some
test pages there, txt, htm, aspx and see if you can get to them. Take the
anonymous access off, see what happens.

1. The virtual directory exists
2. The page is there and is accessable
3. Following the "Instructions" you pointed to in your previous post I
shouldn't need to do anything when installing on a brand new Win2k3 Domain
Controller, however I thought along these lines also before coming up empty.
4. I am running other Web applications fine off the server. CRM for one.
The whole reason I posted here was that I had exhausted all avenues. I
appreciate the time you have put into this.
Any other ideas anyone? I am at a loss here, I have installed RS
successfully many times on Win2k, this is my first experience with Win2k3.
I am leaning towards CRM having something to do with it. I will continue
the search for answers.
Ash

while configuring share point portal server it
will ask to remove front page server extensions at the
time of creating a portal. remove the front page server
extensions and then restart the machine and after that
create a portal site.
5. Reporting services
While installing reporting services it will
check the system and gives a warning message that share
point is also installed in the system and we need to
manually configure reporting services.
leave it and go for the next tab.
Specify a domain/user account where ever asked.
unckeck the ssl certification if u dont have
any and check direct to default

and change the below line as follows
pages enableSessionState="true" enableViewState="true"
enableViewStateMac="true" validateRequest="false" />
3. In cmd prompt go to
E:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\60\BIN
