Changing Virtual Directories

Hello, I'm installing reporting services on a new sql server 2005 box. While
on the machine, I go to Reporting Services Configuration Manager, I'm trying
to create the report server virtual directory and report manager virtual
directory. My issue is that I don't want to create them on the sql box but
on another web server. I don't get an option to tell it to create a New
folder on anywhere put the sql server.
How can you do this?
Thanksyou have to install RS on this second server... and you have to pay for the
license...
you can use the first server to host the RS database, but you have to go
through the setup process for the new web server.

for additional licenses if you were doing it in a farm, or if your database
server was 1 cpu and the web server had 2 CPU.
So, If I run the setup on the web server then when i go into Reporting
Services Configuration Manager on the web server and select the database on
the sql server? Or do you do the configuration manager from the sql server.
Thanks

The licensing scheme that Jeje mentioned is correct (reference:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143238.aspx ). Also, this
link should help in terms of the Configuration process.

Hope this helps.

services piece on the sql server (using the IIS installed on SQL box) because
I want people outside of the network to see the reports using the report
manager.
I believe that if I have it installed on the sql server then only people in
the office will be able to see it. So, sql server reporting servies is only
really every included in your purchase of sql server if you want to only
display the data with people logged onto your network?
Thanks

you can install RS on the same box as SQL Server and open the HTTP door to
allow external users to access the server.
if you use ISA Server (or a firewall like this one) you can publish the
server easily on the internet.
