Unable to start emby service with latest beta

[xd003 7]

Its been a while since i used emby . So i thought to give the latest beta a try . I downloaded the latest beta from here - https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/4.6.0.28/emby-server-deb_4.6.0.28_amd64.deb and installed it . Then i enabled and started the service through systemctl

sudo systemctl enable emby-server && sudo systemctl start emby-server

But for some reason , the service is not running / crashing . sudo systemctl status emby-server returns the following

● emby-server.service - Emby Server is a personal media server with apps on just about every device.

Hi, I would try rebooting your machine. This error suggests the server is unable to bind to the http ports that it uses.
