Team Foundation Server - Installation Error 29112

Question

Hi all,
 my TFS setup failed!
I'm installing in Single Server mode, paying attention to follow the latest version of the guide .

The error is:
Error 29112.Team Foundation Report Server Configuration: Report Server is not properly configured or the Reporting Services Web site could not be reached.

I tried to resolve it by myself, but nothing.
Help me pls!!!

I tried:
1)  run http://localhost/reports and I get "SQL server reporting services" home page.

2) Run the following command line
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server\Tools\TFRSConfig.exe" /verify
Report is:

=========================================================================

tatus: Set     Severity: 1     Description:  The report server is initialized.


Error: ErrorCheckingReportServerStatus.

Configuring SQL Server Reporting Services failed.
==================================================================


3) In "Configure Report Server" tool, there is the panel "Web Server identity" in red (not configured).
I tried to fix this.
In IIS the identity in the report application pool is already setted to network service.
After that, in the reporting service configuration I clicked on the tabs with identity names and then I clicked
the Apply button.
I get the following error:
==============================================================
"Apply default Virtual Directory Settings for Report Manager"
There was an error applying the default virtual directory settings for the report manager
==============================================================


4) I verified that the ReportServer application pool had been created.

5) in IIS manager\Application Pools, right click on ReportServer\Properties\Identity tab.Its security account is Network Service.

6) Tried to run aspnet_regiis.exe for .Net 2.0 - no help.

7) I tried to uninstall and install ASP.Net from control panel - no help.

Note: The first time I installed all using a local Administrator account, and local user accounts for TFS users.
All was OK.

Then, I reinstalled more time all (also Win 2003), in order to use Domain Accounts...
Now i get always the same problem.

Anyone can help me pls?

Thanks

Walter

Answer 1

I think you are on the right track with the Reporting Services configuration changes - when you get the error "There was an error applying the default virtual directory settings for the report manager" are you able to click on a link for additional details (typically there is an option to do this).

 

Often the link details indicate exactly what the problem is (permissions, existing virtual directory, etc).

Walter I am researching this and will get back to you with additional things to try.

 

Answer 5

 

I've been suffering from this same issue.  I can view the website, yet TFS installer tells me its unreachable.  I'm using Windows Server 2003 Standard, with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.  I tried creating a new application pool and configureing within that.  But with no luck.  I'm going to try to re-install SQL Server 2005.

Answer 6

I uninstalled all softwares (Sql server 2005 + Sharepoint services + IIS ..) more times.. but without luck.
The last time I reinstalled also Windows Server 2003 ...  but nothing changed.

Answer 7

I am having the same problem.  Has anyone figured this out yet?

Answer 8

I am sorry you are running into this issue.  Have you tried manually removing the SQLRS VDIRs and app pools prior to installation of TFS?  TFS will re-create them if they are not there.

 

thanks,

 

Tony

Answer 9

Tony,
I dont have any great knowledge of SQL 2005, so I do not know what SQLRS (i assume this is sql reporting servives) VDIRS or what app pools you are referring too.  Can you provide more detail.

Answer 10

Hello lbland25,

 

   Yes It's sql reporting servives.

 

   Here are steps to completely remove all.

 

     1.  Uninstall SQL Server 2005.

 

     2.  Open the IIS manager. Right click My Computer, Select manager.

 

     3.  Expand Services and Applications, expand Internet Information Services Mangaer (IIS)

 

     4.  Expand Application Pools.

 

     5.  Delete the 'ReportServer' pool if there is.

 

     6.  Expand Web Sites node, expand Default Web Site.

 

     7.  Delete 'ReportServer'  VDIR if there is.

 

    And

 

    Try to delete folder : <Disk>:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3

    It is default folder for the Report Server

 

    Good luck.

Answer 11

I'm also getting this exact error - multiple times now!

My last try was a COMPLETELY CLEAN installation, following the instructions at every step (updating at specified places)

 

I'm installing on a single server

 

Windows 2003 Standard Server (clean install, updated)

 

IIS (with asp.net but not frontpage extensions)

 

SQL server 2005 standard edition (complete install, updated)

 

Sharepoint services 2.0 (installed for server farm, updated)

 

TFS for workgroups (WILL NOT INSTALL)

I've been at this *** for a week now, first trying to fix a broken installation and then trying a new installation on the old hardware and now finally a completely new installation - this is HIGH PRIORITY!

 

TFS installation procedure is broken!

 

 

Answer 12

To: Hua Chen and Tony Edwards

 

This problem that the poster and I are running into is with Single server install.

It seems that TFS doesn't configure Reporting services the way it's supposed to in single server install so your advice to clear the settings of reporting services was of no help.

 

Does anyone know how to get past this error to get TFS running on a single server?

(I'm installing on a completely clean system)

Answer 13

Hello Guðmundur,

 

  I am sorry to see you had problem while installing TFS.

 

  Here are some suggestions. 

 

    From your post:

    

    SQL server 2005 standard edition (complete install, updated)

 

    Do you mean that you installed the SP2 for SQL Server 2005 immediately after installing SQL Server 2005?

 

    If so could you please try not to install SP2 for SQL Server 2005 to see if it works.

 

    You need to install KB914595 hotfix for SQL Server.

 

     Or you can install SP1 for SQL Server 2005 which contains KB914595.

 

     Thannks.

 

 

    You can follow the latest installation guide.

 

    Here is a download link for the TFS Installation Guide:

    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=40042 

 

    Good luck.

 

 

 

Answer 14

Hi, and thanks for the reply,
I actually just got passed the error yesterday - and it might be because of SQL sp2 or because I used the answer file for setting up SQL

 

Here's what I did

I uninstalled sharepoint and SQL server completely

I installed SQL server 2005 standard using the answer file provided with TFS (did not take this route before due to collation settings)

I upgraded SQL to SP1 (did not use hotfix or any other updates)

I installed Sharepoint silently (no updates)

Installed TFS (no error!)

upgraded TFS to sp1

upgraded SQL server to sp2 (othervise db version numbers wont match and restore breaks)

Restored databases (following restore based move, p.s. restore based move instructions are broken, SetupWarehouse.exe requires mturl and therefore I had to enable TFS AppPool sooner than the instructions stated )

 

Right now TFS works, sort of, I have acces to source control at least (Finally!) But sharepoint is in a sad shape, when I try to open a team site or http://localhost/ I only get: Unable to get global configuration data.

Yet the mydomain\tfsservice runs the TFSWSS pool and is dbo on both the config and content databases. (it's the same user as before, I was moving TFS to a new server on the same domain)

 

So, thanks again for the reply - I'll try and figure this new problem out

For the record: here is another possible cause and solution to error 29112. See the following blog post http://blogs.msdn.com/clemmend/archive/2008/01/22/error-29112-when-installing-tfs-2008-and-reporting-services-as-part-of-a-scale-out-installation.aspx

Hello Guðmundur.

 

I am having similar TFS issues as to the original issue for which you supplied a solution path for (which I am about to execute - thanks!).  Did you ever find a resolution to your current (or at least next) issue that you experienced?  I would rather have some info ahead of time just in case!  Thanks!
