can''t connect to reporting services

    On a windows 2000 server test box I can't connect to reporting services in management studio -- http 404 error.   I finally uninstalled sql 2005  sp2 ( but left the management tools installed) and re-installed sql.   Same problem.  If I go to http://localhost/reports     or http://magneto/reports    ( server is magneto ) or even to  http://<local website Shown In IIS>/reports    I would get a connection error and I think something about versions being compatible.   After enabling web sharing on the local folder where the reporting services config files are stored the error in the browser went away but now it just displays the web page title and reporting services version, nothing else.

    I've seen various hacks to those config files but I'd rather re-install sql than fiddle with those manually.  Only other thing I can think to do is re-install sql including management tools and/or re-install IIS

    Did you install Reporting Services to your default instance or a named instance? You should verify by either checking the database engine and check whether the reportserver was installed or check the IIS Manager.

    if default instance --> http://localhost/reports or http://magneto/reports

    if named instance --> http://magneto/reports$namedinstance

    hopefully you can successfully connect to your SSRS Report Manager.
