Walletnotify not working

Here’s my Bitcoin.conf:

server=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=userrunningbitcoind
rpcpassword=passwordofuserrunningbitcoind
rpcport=7788
walletnotify=/home/userrunningbitcoind/transaction.sh %s

And here’s my transaction.sh, which I’ve tried running manually already. This works without issue on its own:

#!/bin/sh
curl -d "txid=$1" http://127.0.0.1/api/process-payment

What else can I try to get walletnotify going?

EDIT:

I’ve additionally found this in my debug.log:

2018-01-19 05:49:22 Binding RPC on address 0.0.0.0 port 7788 failed.
2018-01-19 05:49:22 No rpcpassword set - using random cookie authentication
2018-01-19 05:49:22 Generated RPC authentication cookie /home/userrunningbitcoind/.bitcoin/.cookie
