Redis Won't Start Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 5

My working and functional redis server 5.0.7 installation on Ubuntu 20.04, simply refuses to start without any changes having be made to the config file. It is identical to a config on a different different server running redis that starts, therefore I think the error message is systemd related

● redis-server.service - Advanced key-value store Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/redis-server.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2022-07-30 23:09:49 HKT; 32s ago Docs: man:redis-server(1) Process: 8141 ExecStart=/usr/bin/redis-server /etc/redis/redis.conf (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) redis-server.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE redis-server.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Any ideas? Thanks
