Ok, but what is the error message?
As it seems, shitemd joarnal doesn't contain any useful message.

Try to start manually in your terminal in foreground mode (-F).
If it still doesn't show any useful message, you can try to use some
verbose (-v) or debug switch (-d).
Using -e can be also useful.
And next time, for just testing the config file, you can try to use the -s
option for syntax-check only. That way you could be sure, if your config
file syntactically okay and if it is, then you can restart your service.
