I have an automated script that I have been using to build the 1.6/1.7 (master) branch for FreeSWITCH. Debian = Jessie (8.1); git branch = master. Life was good. But, about a week (or two) ago, I was no longer able to run fs_cli from a shell window on my new builds... craig $ fs_cli [ERROR] fs_cli.c:1610 main() Error Connecting [Socket Connection Error] FreeSWITCH itself is running in the background perfectly fine. I can place calls; and tail -f on the log file shows the same activity that would expect to see on the fs_cli console. The process is is running as user "freeswitch" and all of the standard directories are owned by "freeswitch". And no obvious errors in the build log (but honestly, not sure I'd spot the error in all the text if there was one :-) Any hints on what the issue might be? Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------- For what it is worth, here are the script commands that I use to build FreeSWITCH: # git freeswitch, bootstrap, configure and make... git clone https://freeswitch.org/stash/scm/fs/freeswitch.git sudo ./bootstrap.sh -j sudo ./configure -C perl -i -pe 's/#formats\/mod_vlc/formats\/mod_vlc/g' modules.conf perl -i -pe 's/#applications\/mod_av/applications\/mod_av/g' modules.conf sudo make sudo make install sudo make cd-sounds-install cd-moh-install samples # add user & group freeswitch sudo useradd --shell /bin/bash --password `perl -e 'print crypt("....", "....")'` freeswitch sudo adduser freeswitch sudo sudo chown -R freeswitch:freeswitch /usr/local/freeswitch/ sudo chmod -R o=rwx /usr/local/freeswitch/ sudo chown -R freeswitch:freeswitch /usr/local/src/freeswitch/ sudo chmod -R o=rwx /usr/local/src/freeswitch/ # set to run at startup sudo ln /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch /usr/bin/freeswitch sudo ln /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/fs_cli /usr/bin/fs_cli sudo mkdir /etc/freeswitch sudo ln /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/freeswitch.xml /etc/freeswitch/freeswitch.xml sudo chown freeswitch:daemon /etc/freeswitch sudo chmod ug=rwx,o= /etc/freeswitch sudo mkdir /var/lib/freeswitch sudo chown freeswitch:daemon /var/lib/freeswitch sudo chmod -R ug=rwX,o= /var/lib/freeswitch sudo cp /usr/local/src/freeswitch/debian/freeswitch-sysvinit.freeswitch.default /etc/default/freeswitch sudo chown freeswitch:daemon /etc/default/freeswitch sudo chmod ug=rw,o= /etc/default/freeswitch sudo cp /usr/local/src/freeswitch/debian/freeswitch-sysvinit.freeswitch.init /etc/init.d/freeswitch
