error Creating New Database on power bi report server

I recently installed a power bi on-premisses report server on my windows server 2016 and in PowerBI Report Server Configuration Manager I defined the web service URL and web portal URL . then when I tried to create new database on database tab , I got this error message and don't know what to do for fixing this. 

I really appreciate you for helping me.

 

the error message: 

Microsoft.ReportingServices.WmiProvider.WMIProviderException: An error occurred when attempting to connect to the report server remote procedure call (RPC) end point. Verify that the Report Server Windows service is running, and then retry the operation.

---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: The RPC server is not listening. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706B3)

hi,

 

Are you able to connect to the DB through any other means (such as SSMS)? This looks like an issue with connecting to the Database Server machine. Thanks.
