[Freeswitch-users] Starting FS on OSX (10.4.11 PPC)

[Ivan C Myrvold]

I have chown the  freeswitch directory to my user imyrvold, therefore  
I put it in ~/Library/LaunchDaemons.
Do you run freeswitch as root, as you put it in /System/library/ 
LaunchDaemons? That directory should be reserved anyway for Apple's  
system tools.
A better idea would be to put it in /Library/LaunchDaemons if you run  
it as root (but you should in my opinion run it as a normal user, as I  
have (almost) always done).
