Catch my Point

After debugging multiple errors during installation & errors trace left in event logs, I still find "Reporting Services" section missing in my Application Management. There is one more place to look for error logs "in %temp% directory", reporting services logs information to a log file in the %temp% folder for the user who is installed the Reporting Services Add-in, the file name is RS_SP_.log. Looks like there is an error activating the ReportServer Feature in the Central Administration.

******* User does not have permission to add feature to site collection: http://machinename:8080

This can be resolved by activating the ReportServer Feature manually through command line (stsadm) or else through site settings

1. Go to SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration.
2. Select Site Actions -> Site Settings
3. Click Site Collection Features
4. Activate Report Server Integration Feature in the list
