Asterisk start via systemd fails, but its running

I have a fresh Asterisk 18 install on a fresh OS (AWS Linux 2).  I used the
service file from contrib directory and commented out user and group
settings so it runs under root.

 

When I start Asterisk via systemd it waits a long time and then times out.
Reporting failure to the command line.  Result of journalctl -xe is below.

 

However, the asterisk executable has started and is running, I can connect
to it via 'asterisk -r'.  Is there a change needed to the service file?
(Anyone tested under Amazon Linux 2)
