Nothing in /var/log/freeswitch/freeswitch.log

Results of running it at command line below. I’ve tried running it with ‘c’ instead of ‘ncwait’ as well, but it complains about the pid

root@voice:/etc/systemd/system# /usr/bin/freeswitch -u freeswitch -g freeswitch -ncwait -nonat -rp

1349 Backgrounding.

FreeSWITCH[1348] Error starting system! pid:1349

root@voice:/etc/systemd/system# /usr/bin/freeswitch -u freeswitch -g freeswitch -c -nonat -rp

Cannot open pid file /var/run/freeswitch/freeswitch.pid.

Something is preventing fs from starting and systemd keeps trying, but
eventually gives up.  Can you start it by hand with the same parameters?
Can you check the freeswitch.log and see if that says anything?

This is my first Jessie install, so trying to get my head around systemd.

I’ve installed from repos, and it all works fine with ‘service start freeswitch’ as I used to use. However, as update-rc.d doesn’t work for starting on boot, I figured this is due to the startup changes in jessie.

So I followed this to the letter:

But no joy:

root@voice:/etc/systemd/system# systemctl start freeswitch
Job for freeswitch.service failed. See 'systemctl status freeswitch.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
