I guess your content pack might have violate some restrctions. See more https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-developer-content-pack-authoring/
Summary of restrictions
As listed in the above sections, currently the template content packs have a set of restrictions:
Supported Not Supported Datasets built in PBI Desktop Datasets from other content packs or inputs such as Excel files Data source supported for cloud Scheduled Data refresh Direct query or on-prem connecitivty is not supported Queries returning consistent schema or errors where appropriate Dynamic or custom schemas One data source per dataset Multiple data sources such as mashups or URLs that are detected as mutliple data sources Parameters of type text Other parameter types (such as date) or "list allowed of values" One dashboard, report and dataset Multiple dashboards, reports or datasets Hi
Just an update to this. I've manged to get this sorted an now have the Content Pack Template setup. In the end the problems were certificate and DNS issues.
Was using a self signed certificate not one for the company. Move the development on to an Azure environment and gavve the machine a public DNS. In the company DNS registered the Azure Public DNS against the company domain. was able to then contect created the .bpix file. Upload the file and create the Content Pack Template. The template then works fine and doesn't give me the error.

Advocate IHi Kumar
Quite probably your right on that but I can't see which of those restrictions I'm hitting. I'm just trying to connect the template to an OData feed. It's not like I'm trying to do anything hard. I can in PBI Desktop connect to the feed with credentials however I have to import domain certificate and alter the host file to acheive this as using the IP for the host machine give an SSL/TSL error. You can't do that in the PBI Web. I suspect the service, which requires 'Windows' authentication, I'm connecting to isn't right somehow an is only intented to be used in the same domain.
Thanks
