Jekins not Starting

Hello, I am new to Jenkins and after installation, i get an error while trying to start Jenkins.
I followed the instructions here - Redhat Jenkins Packages
Java Version java-1.8*
Everything installs well and fine, but when i try starting Jenkins i get the error below.
#########################################
service jenkins start
Starting jenkins (via systemctl): Job for jenkins.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See “systemctl status jenkins.service” and “journalctl -xeu jenkins.service” for details. [FAILED]
#########################################
I also noticed that my /var/lib/jenkins is empty
Also no log files (jenkins.log)

I am using AWS and the OS is Amazon Linux.
I have terminated like 3 servers to do fresh installs but still get the same issues.

Pls i would appriciate any assistance.

What version of Jenkins? The most recent versions require Java 11, but you show you are using 1.8.

Thank you, Installed Java 11 and it worked! Cheers
