I've installed SQL Server 2k5 Developer's Edition and I told it to install every possible option I could find....
... so now I'm trying to launch SSRS for the first time in my life... I look it up in BOL and it says "In the address bar of the Web browser, type the Report Manager URL. By default, the URL is http:// with jmoden2 so that I actually have http://jmoden2/reports and I get the following...
The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Please try the following:
If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Open the jmoden2 home page, and then look for links to the information you want.
Click the Back button to try another link.
HTTP 404 - File not found

I also get a note from my pop-up blocker that says "Intranet settings are now turned off by default. Intranet settings are less secure than Internet settings. Click for options..." So I do and I get all sorts of warnings about how the world on my pc as I know it may come to an end if I do this...
So, help me out... how do you launch SSRS without exposing one's computer to all sorts of monsters on the Internet?
Thanks for your patience... this is all very new to me.

All right. Starting with the basics:
- does IIS show that those directories are there?
- did you run through the Reporting Service Configuration tool (and set up all of those things in there?) Did you go through EVERY tab? Are you getting green checks next to each of the first 6 and "initialization"?
- Is SSRS started (as a service)? If it had trouble pre-configuring SSRS, it may have set the service to manual start.
- If you have - make sure that you click the "Apply default settings" to both virtual directories. If need be - have it make a NEW directory and apply them again.
- In IIS - did the correct settings get picked up on settings for said virtual dirs? Such as - did they get their own app name? is the correct version of ASP.NET showing?
- What happens when you use http://127.0.0.1/Reports ? How about http://127.0.0.1/ReportServer ? If they don't work - how about just plain http://127.0.0.1 ?
Finally - do you have a router between you and the internet? If so - you should be able to enable intranet settings without a major issue. Notice I didn't say "modem".
(Just looking to make sure we have the basics covered - it took me four separate installs to get a "functional" SSRS, and 2 of them had to do with pre-existing IIS issues).

Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?
