Hi all, We have installed the Power BI Report Server (Developer) Edition on our test machine (15.0.1102.597). The machine is running SQL Server 2016 Developer Edition. Calling the Report Server Web Service URLs works properly. However, when calling the Web Portal URL, we are getting an 503 error. The RSHostingService LogFile contains the following information:################2019-10-04 08:17:42.4934|INFO|12|Immediate restart of process Portal2019-10-04 08:17:42.4934|INFO|12|Launching Process : Portal2019-10-04 08:17:42.4934|INFO|12|Starting Process: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Report Server\PBIRS\Portal\RSPortal.exe2019-10-04 08:17:44.3907|WARN|12|Child Process [Portal] Died. Check the log for further information################ Does anyone have an idea what to do against the dying RSPortal process? It worked properly with an older version of Power BI report server. I also tried assigning another Web Portal Virtual Directory and another Port. No success. Restarts did not work either. Thank you for any help,kind regards,Patrick Wolf

Hi All,

try this - maybe it helps you - for me it fixed the issue.

ISSUE
After upgrading to the latest release of PBI RS, from May 2019 to September 2019, the Web Portal address is returning an HTTP 503 error

CAUSE/Analysis
Our latest’s release of Power BI Report server (September 2019) uses a more recent .NET Framework requirements and we advise a minimum of version 4.7

Action Plan
Please upgrade the .NET Framework to an 4.7 or newer version (.NET Framework Runtime)
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download
Restart the Server
Check if the PBI Report Server is now accessible to the Web Portal

  Awesome, that worked for me. Installed .Net 4.8 on the server and now the 503 error is gone.
  
  Thanks!!!

Could you share the most recent log files found under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Report Server\PBIRS\LogFiles ?

This could help us help you...

  No, it's running OK on my local machine (with the exception of some of the custom visual slicers, but MS are working on a fix for that). The logs don't appear to give us much to go on. Have you tried checking the Application log in Windows Event viewer to see if there are any errors related to Report Server in there?

Hi,

thanks for the Logging trick. I changed the configuration file and restarted the server.

May I ask: How do I open an official support ticket with Microsoft regarding Power BI Server?

Here is the extended output of RSHostingService Logfile after the restart. From my point of view, there is no additional helpful information included :(

  I just found the official Microsoft Support page. However, I need to be a Power BI Pro User in order to raise a ticket. We are using Power BI Report Server as part of our SQL Server 2016 licensing. Thus, I am no Pro User and I am not able to create the ticket. Perhaps someone else with the same problem may help here?

  Thanks,

    Technically if you are publishing pbix files to Power BI Report Server you still need a Pro license. It's only the read-only users that don't need pro licenses. Although I don't think this is overly well publicised. There have been prior questions about the need for a pro license on this forum (see https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Report-Server/Power-BI-Report-Server-Do-I-need-a-Pro-License/td-p/221142)
    
    And in the fine print at the bottom of this page: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/ you will fine the following:
    
    A Power BI Pro license is required to:
    
    Distribute content to other users, and for peer-to-peer sharing and collaboration.
    
    Publish content to Power BI Premium.
    
    Receive content from other users unless the user is associated with dedicated capacity in Power BI Premium.
    
    Publish content to Power BI Report Server.
    
    At my company also have our PBIRS covered by Enterprise license with SA and as part of that we also have a certain amount of support hours available, but maybe that's just the way our Enterprise Aggreement with Microsoft is structured. Can you maybe check with your IT department to see if you have a Microsoft Account manager who could assist here?
    
    Unfortunately I think this issue is possibly beyond something that volunteers like myself on the forums can assist with and you probably need the help of a dedicate support engineer.

Hello! I have same issue with september update. I tested it yesterday for some hours, tried to install on test enviroment without any previous installations, also tried to upgrade previous version, tried to play with configuration. It didnt work, RSPortal died in all cases.
So, the only way for me now is to downgrade to previous version of PBI RS, from may 2019. If you want, i can share it for you: https://yadi.sk/d/p_2VOu1_DzAjXQ , but I am afraid that it is not english version, but russian.

  I just upgraded one of our Report Servers to the september release and got the same "child process (RSPortal) died" error.
  Even uninstalling and reinstalling results in the same error. Wondering what the problem could be. The logs aren't really helpful.

    We have not been able to repro the issue yet in the team.
    Can you please share following details -
    1. OS used
    2. SQL version used
    3. .Net Fx version available on machine
    
    I understand there is not much information in the portal process log. Do you have any useful information in the ReportingServicesService log file?
