Report Server create new database error

Question

Hello everybody
I have MSSQL 2012 Standard Edition SP2 istalled on Windows Server 2008 R2.
I had installed Reporting Services on that server (thru install wizard add new feature).
Reporting Services installed with no errors, there is SQL Server Reporting Services service in SQL Server configuration Manager and it is running. When I launch Reporting Services Configuration Manager it saw the reporting services name and instance name,
but when I try to define the new database there is such error:
Could not connect to server: The type initializer for 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection' threw an exception.
The Reporting Services and Database Engine are on same server. I have the administrator permission both on Windows and SQL server instance
Please help
Thank you

Hi HeyLe,
Based on my research, the issue may be related to user access permission. You can refer to the following method to troubleshooting the issue:
Open C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG folder | right click on the machine.config file | Properties | Security | make sure your domain account has FULL CONTROL permission on this file.
If above steps still do not work, please backup your machine.config file to somewhere else and replace with the attached one from my Windows Server 2008 environment.
Alternatively, app.config file also may cause the same issue.
There is a similar issue, you can refer to it.
