The URL has already been reserved?
One of my servers quit responding during some troubleshooting of another issue andwhen Itry to reconfigure it I am receivingResults as follows:Reserving url http://+:80The URL has already been reserved.It appears to me that there is something with the Virtual Directory that is not allowing me to use it or overwrite it. If I change the name or the port the new configuration works fine, however this is part of a scale-out test environment and I need to keep the virutal directory names the same.I have uninstalled and reinstalled SSRS in an attempt to resolve, but that did nothing to this issue.How can I manually list, delete, or edit Virtual Directories in SSRS 2008?

Download the exe fromhttp://www.stevestechspot.com/ABetterHttpcfg.aspxIt is a GUI interface to httpcfg.exe. It will list all the urls reserved and allow you to delete the http://+80/Reports and http://+80/ReportServer urls then you should be able to configure RS again.By the way, this will NOT work on Windows XP because of a conflict between our httpsys use and IIS (which doesn't use httpsys). So if you are on XP, RS needs to use a different port.-Dave

If you are using Vista or Windows Server 2008, you can use "netsh http" command line utility to list/add/delete the URL reservations in http.sys.A sample command is "netsh http show urlacl". This will list you the current URL reservations on http.sys.
