danm can you provide a little more info on your configuration as well as the specific error you are seeing, is it the service not available error? Specifically:

 

- Do you have multiple versions of Reporting Services installed (i.e. SSRS 2016, SSRS 2017, PBIRS)?

- What account are you using for the PBIRS service account?

- If you have multiple installs of SSRS did you use the default DB name?

- Are you trying to reuse and existing DB from as a previous install or did you create a new catalog?
