¿Por qué systemctl no inicia redis-server en CentOS 7?

He instalado redis en una nueva caja de CentOS 7 pero no puedo iniciarlo usando systemctl.

Se instaló así:

rpm -i http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/beta/7/x86_64/epel-release-7-0.2.noarch.rpm
yum install redis

Intentar iniciarlo de esta manera pareció fallar silenciosamente (no hubo salida):

systemctl start redis-server # also tried redis-server.service

Esto es lo que sucede cuando intento conectarme:

redis-cli
Could not connect to Redis at 127.0.0.1:6379: Connection refused
not connected>

Pero comenzarlo manualmente funciona:

[root@redis ~]# redis-server /etc/redis.conf
[root@redis ~]# redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379>

¿Alguien sabe qué está pasando o cómo depurar esto?

ACTUALIZACIÓN: La salida de /var/log/redis/redis.logestá debajo. Por cierto, es un 512 MB de RAM VPS.

Y estado:

[root@redis ~]# systemctl status redis-server

Jul 29 18:52:16 redis systemd[1]: Started Redis persistent key-value database.

Finalmente lo arreglé. Systemd requiere que redis se ejecute sin demonización, por lo que la configuración debe cambiar:

# /etc/redis.conf
daemonize yes # << comment this out
