Upgraded zabbix server to 4.4.1 - now zabbix_server will not start and will not write to zabbix_server.log

Here is my php file:

<?php
// Zabbix GUI configuration file.
global $DB;

$DB['TYPE'] = 'MYSQL';
$DB['SERVER'] = 'zabbix-two.*********.rds.amazonaws.com';
$DB['PORT'] = '3306';
$DB['DATABASE'] = 'zabbix';
$DB['USER'] = 'zabbix';
$DB['PASSWORD'] = '********';

// Schema name. Used for IBM DB2 and PostgreSQL.
$DB['SCHEMA'] = '';

$ZBX_SERVER = 'zabbixtwo';
$ZBX_SERVER_PORT = '10051';
$ZBX_SERVER_NAME = 'zabbixtwo';

$IMAGE_FORMAT_DEFAULT = IMAGE_FORMAT_PNG;

Here is my conf file without the spiel:

The DB is an RDS instance.

Hello,

What OS are you using?
From what version you were making upgrade?
Can you please attempt to start zabbix-server again and then execute following command to see the startup log:

 
 journalctl -u

Hi Valentins

I upgraded from 3.x to 4.4.1.
Al my DB credentials are correct according my DBA.
I don't have the journalctl command installed on my machine
