DNS name result: 404 - File or directory not found.
Hi, MohammedNasser
You may need to open the Services Manager (press Win+R, enter services.msc and press Enter). Locate the SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER) service and make sure its status is Running. If it doesn't run, right-click and select Start.
Then open the Report Server Configuration Manager. Check the web service URL and web portal URL configuration to make sure everything is set correctly. You can check the following links:Configure the web portal - SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) | Microsoft Learn

Hi, MohammedNasser
You may need to check the URL address to confirm that the DNS CNAME record points to your report server correctly, and use the nslookup or dig command to verify that the DNS record resolves correctly to the IP address of the report server. Check the IIS log file for more details to help diagnose the problem. If the certificate does not contain a DNS name, update or regenerate the SSL certificate. Maybe you can check the following link:

Also check that your DNS entries are correctly entered into the URLACL of the ReportServer. When looking at the "netsh http show urlacl" command, check whether the /Reports entry and the /ReportServer entry exist in the DNS entry. If the DNS entry does not exist, you can add it with the following command, for example: netsh http add urlacl url=https://myDNSname.com/reports user=Everyone
