Hello,

I am a newbie to FS and I want learn it. So I setup a Centos 5.2 (fresh install) and followed the instruction on the wiki installed the new Freeswitch v1.0.3.  After the installation I can start FS by issus command "/usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch".

After that I copied freeswitch.init.centos5 to /etc/init.d/freeswitch and chmod it to 755. Reboot the server and FS is not running.

If I try the start up script:

[root@localhost build]# /etc/init.d/freeswitch start
Starting freeswitch:                                       [  OK  ]

[root@localhost build]# /etc/init.d/freeswitch status
freeswitch dead but subsys locked

Did I miss somthing here? Please help. Thanks a lot.
