Install problems..

[Gavin]

I followed the instructions in the ReportServerManual.pdf.  I seem to be having db connection problems.

The app is installed under: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Telerik.ReportServer.Web

With an IIS app pointing at it with custom headers.

When I hit the local Url I get:

Server Error in '/' Application.The system cannot find the file specifiedDescription: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. 

Exception Details: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The system cannot find the file specified

The requirements say:

 System Requirements
 Internet Information Services (IIS 7+)
 Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1
 HTML5 compatible web browser

Is SQL Express also required ?

Hello Gavin,

This is a known issue discussed here.

Please test attaching the MDF files from Telerik_Report_Server_CTP1\Telerik.ReportServer.Web\App_Data in an existing SQL server instance, and edit the connection string to the database through IIS - the report server application - connection strings. Depending on the security settings of the machine you may need to copy the database file in a location allowing you to attach them.

I hope this helps you.

Regards,
Stef
