RS installation trouble on the server

We have a server machine running Window 2000, .net 1.1 framework and SQL
server 2000 standard edition and it's a domain controller. We tried to
install RS standard edition onto that server machine. At the end of
installation, the message shows that Setup has successfully installed RS, but
Setup can't initialize Report Server. So we manually initialize report server
from command line by using rsactivate -c"path to RSReporttserver.config" and
it was succeful. However, when we tried to verify the installation by going
to "http://servername/reportserver", we got the internal error and access is
denied and when we tried to access "http://servername/reports", we got the
error of "Access to the path "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\Reporting Services\ReportManager\bin" is denied." We tried both
Local system and domain account during the installation but with the same
error occured.
Any help will be highly appreciated.Look at section 1.8 in the Reporting Services README.
You'd be surprised how much good stuff gets overlooked in there...
I hope this helps.
