What does the log say?
journalctl -u lemmy_bb.service

Seems like the file /opt/lemmyBB/target/release/lemmy_bb doesnt exist. Did you run cargo build --release? Maybe you used a different folder?

[nixoye]

@Nutomic I did. I followed the instructions step by step. The status number in the error is now 101

[Nutomic]

So does the mentioned file exist at that path or not?

[Tealk]

Show us the following output
ls -a /opt/lemmyBB/target/release

[nixoye]

sorry, yes it does.

ls -a /opt/lemmyBB/target/release
.   .cargo-lock   build  examples     lemmy_bb
..  .fingerprint  deps   incremental  lemmy_bb.d

@Nutomic after using the updated instructions for lemmybb i fixed my install on the lemmybb side. My only issue now is this unkown directive error for lemmy

edit: i fixed this error by replacing the lemmybb.conf.save with the .conf by saving and replacing over the conf.save manually

[Nutomic]

There shouldnt be any .conf.save file, it was probably created by your editor. You can safely delete it.
