Problem
After installing SQL Server 2008, when I went to access the Web Service URL @ http://localserver/ReportServer, it said “Page cannot be found”. After going through several rounds of check to see if the installation went correctly, I did not find anything abnormal. So what was wrong?
Solution:
Change the port on which Report Server listens from 80 (which is the default) to something different (say 8080). You do this by going to the Reporting Services Configuration Manager -->Web Service URL. Change the TCP Port from 80 to 8080 and click Apply. Go to Report Manager URL --> Advanced --> Edit button (of Multiple Identities for Report Manager) and then change the TCP port to 8080. (Make sure you change this to the same as above for consistency sake). Click OK. Click OK again.
Now you can access Web Service by typing http://localserver:8080/ReportServer and you can access ReportManager URL by typing http://localserver:8080/Reports
