Hey I keep getting this error everytime I run sudo systemctl enable --now bitcoind
Job for bitcoind.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status bitcoind.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
When I input sudo journalctl -xe --unit bitcoind I get this. bitcoind.service - Bitcoin daemon Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/bitcoind.service; enabled; vendor pres> Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2020-12-30 15:12:05 UTC; 23s > Process: 2411 ExecStartPre=/bin/chgrp admin /etc/bitcoin (code=exited, stat>
Here is how my bitcoind.service looks. I changed the user and group from bitcoin to admin. [Unit] Description=Bitcoin daemon After=network.target

Here are the steps I made before:
~$ cd src
~/src$ git clone --depth 1 --branch v0.20.1 https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
~/src$ cd bitcoin
~/src/bitcoin$ ./contrib/install_db4.sh pwd
~/src/bitcoin$ ./autogen.sh
~/src/bitcoin$ export BDB_PREFIX='/home/ubuntu/src/bitcoin/db4'
~/src/bitcoin$ ./configure BDB_LIBS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx-4.8" BDB_CFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include"
~/src/bitcoin$ make
~/src/bitcoin$ sudo make install
~/src/bitcoin$ bitcoind -version
vi bitcoin.conf

~$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/bitcoin ~$ sudo cp bitcoin.conf /etc/bitcoin ~$ sudo chmod 644 /etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
Utimately I got ubuntu systemd[1]: Failed to start Bitcoin daemon.
