I tried Ciprian’s advise. I could not find that page prior to that. Everything worked after I created /etc/freeswitch and copied my 1.8 config files in. FS still won’t start. Any ideas appreciated. Would it be better to upgrade a copy my running 1.8 version? Thanks, Sean … Here is the current result of trying FS after build. root@FreeSwitch-Deb10-CPU-intense:~# service freeswitch restart Job for freeswitch.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
