[Freeswitch-users] FreeSWITCH Windows Service does not Start

[Ron Avriel]

Thanks for answer.
The problem is missing permission for the network service account to FreeSWITCH directory.
Once permission is granted FreeSWITCH service starts OK.

However, I think that unless there's a way to grant that permission inside the service 
installation code ("freeswitch -install") then the service should be configured to run as local system account.
Otherwise, I think it will cause a lot of trouble to all.

Ron
