Install RS for multiple websites on single computer

My understanding is that RS installs ONLY on the default website. I'm hosting
four websites on a single IIS computer. I want to use Reporting Services
separately on each of the websites. That is, each will have its own database
and its own set of reports. Is this possible? How?
Thanks.
DilipDilip,
I am not sure if you can host multiple instances of RS on single server,
but I have achieved the same requirement by creating a separate directory for
each application. Each corresponding application can have separate directory
with its Reports and required Dataset.
Hope this helps.

I want to keep all the domains separate. I want to access each set of
reports as follows:
http://www.companyA.com/Reports
http://www.companyB.com/Reports
http://www.companyC.com/Reports
http://www.companyD.com/Reports

hmm.. I am sorry, I have no idea about how this can be acheived using
single IIS server for single RS instance.
Thanks,

I have been thinking about how to do this as I have been thinking of
doing the same...though I am coming to the conclusion it is probably
best to have one server per customer....
However, my thoughts on the subject were as follows...
1. Set up links or domains for each customer.
2. repoint the domains into a single dot net nuke portal (I am
considerign using dot net nuke www.dotnetnuke.com) as the 'BI portal'
for clients....probably a release 2.0 thing for me now.
3. User signs in or can now use integrated security for DNN but if you
have multiple companies on one server you are probably going to host
the server outside their security domains so you need a way to securely
log them into DNN.
4. Present reports inside the DNN environment which will allow you to
have the users looking at the one IIS server and one database without
each customer knowing about the other.....you control where the users
point to for each report or directory so you can just set up different
directories for different customers.
5. You could even set graphics etc from the userid or portal you were
looking at so the clients saw different formats etc inside their BI
portal...
Having played with all this...I thought it was easier just to get the
clients to pay for one machine each...

Installation - Only help file installs, No virtual directories or

Hi,
I am trying to install Reporting Services on Windows 2003 server (with no
service pack). Initially it says Visual Studio is not present which is fine,
i press next, then it goes into installation and there are no prompts for rs
components, sql database creation etc. once installation is finished, only
thing i can see is the reporting services help file in the menu. there are no
virtual directories.
Please help.
thanks
dhariwalWeird. I have two installations on 2003. Do you have IIS running. In 2003
you need to configure it to have asp.net applications supported. 2003 comes
much more locked down. You are correct that you can just ignore VS not being
present.

> dhariwal|||Hi,
I also have Reporting Services running on 2003 at other customers and it
works like a charm. This is the first time i am stuck like this with RS. IIS
is up and running as well as asp.net, i have got front page extension
installed as well (do u think extensions are the culprit), one thing i
noticed is that there is default website as well as Microsoft Sharepoint
Administration. Do you think sharepoint is throwing this thing down.
If i re-install IIS, will it make any difference.
thanks
