Cannot start report server

Hi everyone,

 

When I start report server, I got this error:

 

System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot start service PowerBIReportServer on computer 'SRVKAVOCET'. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
   at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Start(String[] args)
   at ReportServicesConfigUI.Panels.ConfigurationPanelWithErrors.StartOrStopServiceTask(Boolean start, String serviceName)

What can be an issue?

 

Also, during installation, at the end, I got this error, which can be source for this:

If you got an exception during setup then your install is probably in a bad state. I would try to uninstall and reinstall or try the repair option. Also if the install was successful you could check the product logs in the LogFiles folder in the setup directory.

Can you check the following folder for setup logs:

 

C:\Users\{UserID}\AppData\Local\Temp\PBIRS

 

Is you see any with errors can you share the output?
