zabbix-server start failed

[XHT]

After installing the zabbix service and configuring the related environment, I encountered a problem when I started the zabbix service. I could not start the zabbix service normally.
# systemctl status zabbix-server.service
● zabbix-server.service - Zabbix Server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/zabbix-server.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)

-- The unit zabbix-server.service has entered the 'failed' state with result 'protocol'.

my zabbix is 6.2.3:
[root@xht zabbix]# zabbix_server -V
zabbix_server (Zabbix) 6.2.3


I did not find zabbix_server.pid in /run/zabbix/;

So how do I solve this problem?

So you have an incorrect database version, yes.

all right，I have solved this problem，thanks

What do

journalctl -eu zabbix-server
cat /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log

tell you?

I get the same output, like this:
# systemctl restart zabbix-server.service
Job for zabbix-server.service failed because the service did not take the steps required by its unit configuration.
See "systemctl status zabbix-server.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Also, I see the following information in /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log. Does this mean that my MariaDB database is not adapted?
