Multiple RS Instances

Can i have multiple Report Server 05 instances on one machine conneting to
one remote Sql Database instance. Each Report Server will have its own
database in the SQL instanceOn Aug 14, 12:58 pm, Marvin <Mar...@.discussions.microsoft.com> wrote:

standard ed on one machine can share the same database server but separate
databases. Unless i'm misunderstading it... any ideas?

As far as I know, this should be fine as long as your virtual
directories for Reports and ReportServer are physically separate for
both SQL instances. Also, you will want to make sure that you have at
least one default SQL Server Instance and one named SQL Server
Instance local to SSRS. As long as your SQL Servers are not mixed
(i.e., one SQL Server 2000 and one SQL Server 2005), it should be ok.

Sr. Software Consultant|||So am I understanding you correctly that each RS (standard ed) instance will
need to have their own SQL Server Database Instance?
Here is what my environment looks like:
WebServer has RSSite1(default) AND RSSite2(Named)
DatabaseServer has one Instance Of Sql Server called DBServ
DBServ has four databases:
RSSite1_ReportServer
RSSite1_ReportServerTempDb
RSSite2_ReportServer
RSSite2_ReportServerTempDb
I'm doing this right now, but i'm running into some issues. Just want to
know if this is supported so i can stop troubleshooting this.
Thanks

no problem with this at all.
From the article that Enrique provided a link to:"You can install multiple
instances of Reporting Services on the same computer. Installing multiple
instances is useful if you want to host different content for specific
sites. Each instance will have its own report server database, configuration
files, and virtual directories. "
Note it says report server database NOT instance.

I installed a default instance of Report Services Std on a Non-Default
Website with Sql Server on a remote machine. I implemented custom security.
No problems so far. I am able to log-in using Forms Auth and add a Folder.
Then I would install a named instance on the same webserver. Without even
touching it after install (choosing to configure later), the DEFAULT instance
returns a "Bad Request" error when trying to log in. I planned to set up the
named instance on another Website.
Any Ideas?

Have you checked to see what the default website is? Could it have changed
to the second installation of RS?
