  1. Referencing the article found here:

    Carriage return characters have been inserted into your init script. Shell scripts may not be read correctly when unexpected carriage returns are encountered. Typically this might occur when the file was created via a Windows system, text editor, or terminal, as Windows uses carriage return + line feed characters for line endings, whereas *nix systems only use line feed characters

    Resolution

    Remove the carriage return characters from the init script. This can be done with a sed one-liner:

    sed -i -e 's/\r//g' /etc/init.d/your_init_script

    This will remove the carriage return characters, after which you can start the service successfully
