One of the student asked me while connecting to report server url, he was prompted the error as “The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database”
Looking at the error, it states that the report server database is not accessible by the report server.
Let us see the SQL Server report server configuration settings.
Go to SQL Server Configuration Manager –> Click on SQL Server Reporting Services Configuration Manager –> Click on Database as shown below
Figure 2:
As you can see in the Figure 2, there were no report server database(s) configured on the instance. Let’s configure the report server database
Click on Change Database and follow the below screenshots
