Unable to connect to the remote server

Any updates on this issue? I’ve tried most of the solutions mentioned in other posts, nothing works. I’m using the latest connector (speckle.powerbi.installer-3.0.0-beta.74), latest Power BI (2.140.1577.0), my project is and was public, and the Power BI dashboard was working before, I tried updating it on Friday and I got the “Access to resource is forbidden” message. If it helps, while trying some of the fixes mentioned in other posts, I also got this message:

Hi @gergo ! When you said “I’ve pushed some more fixes”, do we need to download a new version of the connector?

Nope, the fixes that Gergö mentioned on server side.

Hello all,

I just removed all connectors and reinstalled them, removed custom connectors from the Power BI Desktop folder as I saw mentioned in another thread, also made sure to uninstall the previous Power BI v2 connector via the Speckle Manager, and I finally managed to connect to my projects. :sweat_smile:

Be aware that there are some small changes in the query, some of the columns are renamed (Object ID became Object IDs, speckle_type became Speckle Type) some do not exist anymore such as the Model URL and the URL Type.

Hi again! Halfway through the day I started getting this error again, although it was working earlier.

DataSource.Error: Unable to connect to the remote server
Details:
http://127.0.0.1:29364/download

Is something changing?

Should I wait and hopefully it will get solved?

Thanks!

@gergo any changes in the server side?

Hi @Anastasia,

Somehow the service we used is not responding on your end for a reason. It is hard to say without seeing it. I am happy to jump in a call to understand it better.

hi @oguzhan ,

Just downloaded the latest connector for power BI (3.0.0-beta.76) that came out about an hour ago and it seems the issue is solved.

I’ll let you know if the issue appears again!

It is still suspicious that your service stopped working for a reason. Once you installed new version it triggered the service again and thats why it is solved I guess. If it happens again, let us know please.

Thanks
