Check your file permissions on the the new version of the gitea binary you installed, specifically look for the execute bit. The times when I have encountered similar symptoms after an upgrade were always because I forget to set the execute bit.  
# chmod +x /path/to/gitea

What do your logs say? All I see is that the service was unable to start, but the stdout logs would give more helpful details.
