Hello, I am setting up bird daemon for the first time. I have built a BGP Neighborship in /etc/bird6.conf and now attempting to start the bird daemon but unsuccessful and do not know why.

When I "systemctl start bird" I get failed start. | I am uncertain if I am supposed to have a file in /usr/lib/systemd/system/ for bird. The guidance I've been given so far says no file in /usr/lib/systemd/system/.

I have /etc/bird.conf6 file created

Please use 'systemctl status bird' and 'journalctl -eu bird' to find out *why* it failed to start.
