HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable in Power BI

Question

I have Power BI Report Server installed but when I tried to browse the report manager URL, I got this error:

HTTP Error 503 The service is unavailable

Is it an IIS or web server issue? I have checked the IIS manager but there is no Power BI site hosted on IIS!

Am I missing something?

Thanks
