Power BI server configuration errors
Hi sarahryan,
Is the Power BI report server installed on the same machine SSRS running?
Regarding the error when you create a database, please follow this article to check if some thing missed: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/install-windows/ssrs-report-server-create-a-native-mode-report-server-database

Yes, Power BI and SSRS on same box.
After I couldn't get Power BI to create a new db due to the error mentioned I uninstalled it and then tried the below steps
I set up an additional SSRS isntance called $PBIRS, orig called $SSRS, both installed on the same db instance. Both of these were correctly setup and configured via RS Config Mgr & the \Report & \ReportServer URLs worked as expected.
For $PBIRS I backed up the encryption key & then used the reportserverPBIRS & reportserverPBIRStempdb databases as the existing databases when I resintalled and tried to setup PowerBI again using Power BI Config Mgr.
Now I can't restore/remove the encryption key (change/restore options greyed out) and the URLs don't work. And it still won't let me create a fresh reportserver db.
