Hi All,
I had just updated the Power Bi Report Server to Sep 2024.
When I open the report server by the link with localhost, it open sucessfully.
However, when user try to open Report Server with an IP aress, it failed. 

 

I checked the log file there are error called "Vaildate Referer Failed".

 

Anyone know how to fix this error.

 

Best Regards,

Duncan

    Hi All
    i've had an update from MS

    2 options, see if your report server has this option

     

    if you don't have reporting services installed, you can connect to reporting services via this method

     

     

     

    my server didn't have this feature.
    i did get the Jan 2025 version of report server and installed that

    it has fixed our issue

    Hi, DuncanYeah 

    This issue may be related to the server configuration, specifically to the settings of the web service and the web portal URL.

    You can open the Report Server Configuration Manager. Make sure that both the web service URL and the web portal URL are set to a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and not just the server name or IP address. Also make sure that the server's firewall and network settings allow access to the report server through the IP address. You can check the following link:

    Power BI Server – Resolving “Web Portal URLs and Web Service URLs don’t match” – SQL Ryan

     

    If you're using HTTPS, make sure that the SSL certificate is configured correctly and that the certificate name matches the URL you're using.

    Hi . I met the same problem. I changed my authentication mode from windowsNTLM to form in the version V2024.01. And when I update the version to V2024.05 , the report server works well. However, when I update the version from V2024.05 to V2024.09, I met the same problem like DuncanYeah said. I am unable to add reports, add folders, configure data sources, or browse reports. But I can add new people or delete any reports and files. It is so strange.If anyone knows the solution, I would be extremely grateful

      Good day same issue.

      The URL are the same between the WebService and the Web Portal and I also use the application proxy.

      This only affect the PowerBI report, paginated report are not affected.

      Dear, we have the same issue, do you have the fix?

  • After all i still cannot find the solution so I roll back to the old version. And the error is gone.
    It seem like a bug in the new version
