As far as I'm concerned, this is not a valid bug report. But, I'm switching it to the correct component, maybe others will be able to come up with something.
Fedora 16 is not supported any more. Please update to one of supported versions (f23 or f24) and try it again. Also Fedora comes with `systemd` by default, so you should use `systemctl` command instead of `service`.
