Server stuck on starting and stopping after trying to update to 1.17.1

[An0n]

Hi, so I've been trying to update the server me and my friends play on to 1.17.1 for a couple days now. I've tried removing the plugins and datapacks, repairing the files, force hibernating so I can load a backup and then remove all the plugins and datapacks to try updating as 100% vanilla, everything I could find and think of;  but regardless of what I do, each time it just gets stuck on starting for like 10 minutes, switches to stopping and gets stuck on that, and then in like half an hour it goes into hibernation. What can I do to fix this and update to the newest version? what could be causing this?

Could you show your logs?

Here is how you obtain the current log:

Do what Programmer has advised. If that doesn't work I'm going to be honest, just start a new server. Unless you absolutely need it, no point wasting time getting it fixed, with chances of it happening again on that server version.

I recommend doing what @CoolProgrammer advised then paste it into pastebin and send the link here. We can check whats going on with your server with the logs.
