****I am trying to install Redis on CentOS 7 and was successfully installed in 2 VMs. However, when I try to install and start the Redis service - I am faced with the error below: -- The result is failed.

The "daemonize" in the /etc/redis/conf file has been set to "yes" and the error persists...
Could someone suggest if they came across a similar scenario? I searched and found similar situations when the problem was fixed by setting "daemonize" to "yes" in the conf file... but unfortunately that didn't help here!****

Running the latest version of Redis with systemd, you'll need to have Redis built with systemd support and configured with daemonize no, supervised auto. On the systemd unit file, you need to use Type=notify. Please re-open with new details if there's still a problem.
