How do I configure the Report Services server if it was originally installed in TFS in "Files-only" mode

Question

I have recently started with a new company using TFS 2010 and from what I can tell, the Report Server was originally configured in "Files-only" mode.  I do not see an IIS site for the server and I see references on the web to go to http://<Server>/Report and when I do on this installation, I'm getting a directory listing.  Is there a way to configure the Reporting Server after an installation.  I have looked in the Reporting Services Configuration Manager, but do not see an option for this operation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Eric,

When we install the SQL Server Reporting Services in "Files-only" mode, the SSRS was not configured completely during the installation and the report server is not operational when Setup is finished. To get the SSRS to work well, please start the Reporting Services Configuration Manager and configure the SSRS referring to the following link:

Hope this helps.
