Not able to start dovecot

Freshly compiled dovecot 2.3.9.3 on Centos 7 for some reason not able to start

sudo systemctl status dovecot.service

Mar 18 16:32:17 systemd[1]: dovecot.service failed.

I have compiled the same code on Centos 6 and had no problem to run it.

Any thoughts on that?

Thanks,
