Jenkins fails when running "service start jenkins" : <p>I installed jenkins on Cnetos 7 using the following:</p>

<pre><code>sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo http://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable/jenkins.repo
sudo rpm --import http://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable/jenkins.io.key
yum install jenkins
</code></pre>

<p>as <a href="http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/redhat-stable/" rel="noreferrer">described on the official documentation</a></p>

<p>However when I run:</p>

<pre><code>service start jenkins
</code></pre>

<p>I get the following error message:</p>

<pre><code>Starting jenkins (via systemctl):  Job for jenkins.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status jenkins.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
                                                           [FAILED]
</code></pre>

<p>Running <code>systemctl status jenkins.service</code> gives me this:</p>

<p>Both of which is really unhelpful. How do I fix this issue?</p>
