Cannot save pbix or upload pbix to report server
Hey all,
I have installed this on my machine too - upgraded from a Power BI from a year ago, and finally had a window in our schedule to upgrade, and I have gotten this same error.
I have checked the logs, and it tells me there was a timeout on the POST when I am uploading a replace copy or updating a model from the Desktop version (same version as running on the server) and I get the following trying to upload a new model:
2021-08-11 12:52:06.1614|INFO|985|Received request POST /api/v2.0/powerbireports(Path='/Test%20Reports/Test')/Model.Upload| RequestID = s_85650080-125a-4f1c-b634-0545342cf86a

And this for updating an existing model:

One of the differences in the configuration we have is that we don't use the regular server name - we use a server alias, and we wanted that alias to appear on the outgoing emails, etc, so I have set the host on the Web Service URL and Web Portal URL to respond to http://host:80/reports/ rather than http://machine:80/reports/
When I set it back to accepting "All Assigned" on IP Addresses, the uploads work fine.
When I set my hostname as the only acceptable URL I get the errors.
I have tried the May 2021 on our development server as well, to test before changing production, and it uses the "All Assigned" and worked without error.
This configuration worked previously, so I am unsure why updating has broken it, but any resolution you could provide would be appreciated. And maybe OP has a similar config?
