Shiny Server Wont Start

I'm trying to get my shiny server to start but every time I get this error

shiny-server.service - ShinyServer

This is what is in the log file

    ^

I'm not sure if I have to change something in a .js file or what?

I solved it just by updating the server to the latest version. I assume that there were some sort of files missing and the redownload of the server added them back in.
