I figured out what it was.

 

What lead me to the clue is the following:

 

1. Browsing remotely to http://powerbi/reports and powerbi/reportserver worked just fine.

2. Logged into the server and tried those same URLs and got HTTP 503 server unavailable errors, which I thought was wierd.

 

So I did the following:

 

1. Disabled Loopback check in windows (method 2 from this article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/896861/you-receive-error-401-1-when-you-browse-a-web-site-that-uses-integrate)

 

2. Still didn't work

 

3. Then went to IIS and noticed default website was there listening on port 80. I said what the heck and deleted it, and all the unused App Pools in IIS as I didn't have anything running under the default web site in IIS.

 

That fixed it.

 

I'm guessing that even though I was using host headers in Power BI for the /ReportServer and /Reports URLs it must have still been having a conflict with the default website running on port 80 for some reason. Host headers are supposed to prevent this, but I'm guessing there might be an issue in Power BI in regards to host headers and when it binds or something.

Great troubleshooting, for anyone out there having similar issues try running this to check your reserved URLS:

    I am facing the same issue. Not able to publish/upload power bi reports to Power BI Report Server. I was able to publish Paginated reports successfully. I see the below error in my RSPortal log file.
