Cannot save pbix or upload pbix to report server
Super UserJust a guess
a) Your PBIRS is not configured for .pbix; check the log files; You may need to check report configuration manager
b) Only Server compatible version of "Power BI Desktop" need to be installed and no other power bi desktop version. You need to check that version
Power BI Desktop for the report server
c) you cannot use latest version than the server installed version. Try creating the power bi file using the server installed version and then upload and then browse.
In other words, make sure the Power BI Desktop used for your report creation matches or less than the version installed.
You can check the version of server installed server compatible power bi desktop and the version you are uploading. then you will know
(all of the above using remote desktop and if all works, then try from client)
A little further info:

You have to check server logs: Generic errors, it is tough to guess what is the root cause. It can be anything. http errors, windows errors, authentication errors, database connectivity errors or more ... you can need to check the server logs.
one thing is sure based on your thread conversation is that the server is not configured properly. either start a clean install or proceed with fixing errors, as you counter. It is upto you.
This is the third time ive reloaded it, luckily its just a test box at the moment.
Its just a vanilla install with all the defaults bar changing the portal and service url's
Only errors i can see from report server logs and event logs are a combination of 401/404 with pbix files and 503 with rdl.
docx and xlsx are fine though.
Ill try nuke it all again and reinstall from fresh again
