Urgent please - Reports services doesn't start

Question

Hi,
I have installed reports server using the command
rwserver -install repserv.
Service is created and when I try to start the service, I get an error msg.
Error 1053: The service couldn't respond to the start or control request in timely fashion.
This is very urgent requirement for me. Could any one help? Thanks,
Lakshmi

Answer 1

1) Try this
Verify the Reports 9i Service properties and check the "Log On as" information. Be sure to specify on "This account" the user information with which the installation was made.
For Windows/2000:
- Start-> Settings-> Control Panel-> Administrative Tools-> Services
- Double click on the Reports Server
- Go to "Log On" tab
- Change on the "Log On As" section to "This account" and enter the userid/password of the
user that installed Reports Server
- Ensure that the user account where the Reports Server is installed has administrator privileges
and a default printer.
- Restart the Reports Server as the new user.
(For WinNT steps will be similar)
2) Workaround till your issue is solved is ....
Start report server as a standalone server
rwserver server=server_name
Thanks
