From: michelle on
We had used the httpcfg.exe to add an IP listener on port 80 of the server's
IP address while trying to get http endpoints to work. We rebooted the
machine sometime later and from that point on, reporting services no longer
worked.

We removed this IP listener and reporting services now works.
