There was a similar chat Friday on IRC with some users running on low resources virtual machines.

I believe they narrowed it down to starting freeswitch with –rp option, I believe Tony fixed the default config not to use that option.

Thanks,

Subject: [Freeswitch-users] newbie question (first build): FreeSWITCH just "hangs" when I run it

Hoping someone can help out a newbie figure out what I'm doing wrong.  This is my first attempt at building and I keep running into same issue each time.  Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

My problem is that FreeSWITHC seems to just get stuck when I try to run the binary.  And and if I execute with -ncwait optoin, it keeps spitting out a line saying that it is waiting for background process to be ready

This is what happens when I try to run the compiled system on a home ESXi server in my internal home network.

# ./freeswitch
