报告服务配置管理器无法启动当前报告服务器 - SSRS

Question

SQL Server lunchpad and SQL Server reporting service not getting started.

"Windows could not start the SQL Server reporting service on local computer"
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion

When I'm starting from reporting service configuration manager end. I'm getting below error.

System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot start service SQLServerReportingServices on computer 'Name'.
--> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion
--- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Start(String[] args)
at ReportServicesConfigUI.Panels.ConfigurationPanelWithErrors.StartOrStopServiceTask(Boolean start, String serviceName)

Refer to the below link, however, its not resolving the issue.

The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion?

Note: I can run the reporting service configuration manager as admin

Any clue how to resolve this?

Answer 1

services.msc > SQL Server Reporting Service path to executable is : "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services\\SSRS\\RSHostingService\\ RSHostingService.exe "

then I execute RSHostingService.exe on PowerShell (Run as administrator)

the error :

**Exception occurred while parsing config file** at [C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services\SSRS\RSHostingService\config.json]System.Xml.XmlException: '.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1.
Returned.

For me, web.config File in "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services\\SSRS\\ReportServer" was dammaged.

I replaced it with another one from another system and my problem solved.

Answer 2

I had the same issue

1. Uninstall SQL Reporting Service

2. Stop Stop SQL Server Reporting Service (you can find it there cmd==>services.exe)

3. Drop ReportService and ReportServieTmp with SSMS

4. Remove this directory (including all files) C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services

It isn't the best solution, but it works.

Answer 3

I faced similar issue, I restarted my system as suggested by many here. Then after failed attempts I selected Network services(which was not default) and clicked apply. After few minutes, it connected and I selected back Virtual service account and it connected.

Answer 4

Download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alijamal14/PublicFiles/master/web.config

and Replace web.config file here:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services\SSRS\ReportServer" 

Answer 5

This morning we got hit by the very same issue. I figured out a few.Config files have been rewritten by 0x00 bytes during the night while our storage volume got full by accident. I found all the damaged files by

Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services' -File -Recurse | ? {$_.LastWriteTime -gt '1/17/23'}

and then replaced these with files from yesterday's backup. SSRS now works as usual again
