Problems running the unifi 7 package on new VM

I'm attempting to move off Digital Ocean to a new Vultr instance however, I can’t get the unifi controller to start. I have it installed and ready to roll but when I type
Bash:
service unifi start
, I will see that it tries to start, has a PID, but after a few moments it dies.
Things I've tried so far:
  • Transitioned from quarterly packages to latest packages
  • Tried starting mongod service (didn't have to do this with Digital Ocean but running out of thoughts)
  • Copying over the version of openjdk8 that I have installed on Digital Ocean (I'm still thinking it's something to do with Java)
Versions of software installed:
  • unifi 7: 7.2.92
  • openjdk8: 8.342.07.1_1
  • mongodb36: 3.6.23_1

Sorry for posting this in the wrong forum, I figured since I hadn't been able to get the package working it went there. My mistake!
 
So, I tried a few things...
  1. Completely uninstalled and deleted /usr/local/shared/java/unifi/
  2. Tried installing then running sudo service unifi start
  3. Verifying permissions were unifi:wheel for ALL THE FILES in /usr/local/shared/java/unifi/
  4. Following the steps in this guide (though I didn't need to do any of the upgrades to 3.6 as it already recognized it as such: https://blog.haraschak.com/freebsd-unifi-mongodb-upgrade/
My logs now are attached…

That's ok. I figured this has more to do with configuring the service than actually installing or building it.
