depends on how FreeSWITCH is built and configure args.  The defaults in the build did not change from 1.4 to 1.6.  The packages do use paths consistent with distro requirements .  You probably never want to set basedir unless you are using prefix like we do in default usr/local installs

Hello,

From what I see in 1.6 (I've used 1.4 since now) the layout path changed (I like the new one :) ). For example the logs are in :

logfiledir:     /var/log/freeswitch

This is working nice but in case you specify when you start FS -base = /usr/local/something then all other path's are not respecting any longer the layout and for example the logs are in :

/usr/local/something/log instead /usr/local/something//var/log/freeswitch

Basically is switching to the old layout from FS 1.4 is this expected or it's a bug ?
