[SOLVED] OpenHAB service error

I am suddenly having problems getting the OpenHAB service to run. OH will start from the command line tool but I cannot get the service to start. Happened after installing jython?..

[09:27:05] openhabian@openHABianPi:~$ sudo systemctl start openhab2
[09:27:18] openhabian@openHABianPi:~$ sudo openhab-cli status

A systemd service configuration exists...
Use 'sudo /bin/systemctl status openhab2.service' to find the status of an openHAB service
openHAB is not running.

I used openhabian to reinstall OH stable. During the install saw errors related to jython and the reinstall filed. I removed jython, tried the reinstall which worked. Service now runs.
