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. dynaguy Here is the copy of the origenal freeswitch.init.centos5 ---------------------------- [root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/init.d/freeswitch #!/bin/bash # # /etc/rc.d/init.d/freeswitch # # The FreeSwitch Open Source Voice Platform # # chkconfig: 345 89 14 # description: Starts and stops the freeswitch server daemon # processname: freeswitch # config: /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/freeswitch.conf # pidfile: /usr/local/freeswitch/log/freeswitch.pid # # Source function library. . /etc/init.d/functions PROG_NAME=freeswitch PID_FILE=${PID_FILE-/usr/local/freeswitch/log/freeswitch.pid} FS_USER=${FS_USER-freeswitch} FS_FILE=${FS_FILE-/usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch} FS_HOME=${FS_HOME-/usr/local/freeswitch} LOCK_FILE=/var/lock/subsys/freeswitch FREESWITCH_ARGS="-nc" RETVAL=0 # Source options file if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/freeswitch ]; then . /etc/sysconfig/freeswitch fi # <define any local shell functions used by the code that follows> start() { echo -n "Starting $PROG_NAME: " if [ -e $LOCK_FILE ]; then if [ -e $PID_FILE ] && [ -e /proc/`cat $PID_FILE` ]; then echo echo -n $"$PROG_NAME is already running."; failure $"$PROG_NAME is already running."; echo return 1 fi fi cd $FS_HOME daemon --user $FS_USER --pidfile $PID_FILE "$FS_FILE $FREESWITCH_ARGS $FREESWITCH_PARAMS >/dev/null 2>&1" echo RETVAL=$?
