[Freeswitch-users] Debugging question - silent intialization errors

[Brian Foster]

Start freeswitch without -nc you should be able to see all debug. As soon as you Ctrl-C however, freeswitch is no longer running. Take a look at your bin folder, from there ./freeswitch with the correct permissions.

Fortunately I had done a reloadxml and saw the “error near line xxxx” message, so I knew where to look in the .fsxml file to find the error and fixed it.  Problem is, when you do a ‘service freeswitch start’ in Linux you don’t get this message, FS never finishes starting up so you can’t get into the CLI to see what’s going on, and it doesn’t show anything in the log file.  The only feedback you get is with a ‘service freeswitch status’ which gives the ‘freeswitch dead but subsys locked’ message.
