What exact platform are you using? Os/distro? FS version? Any virtualization?

Has ever started correctly?

Have you started it from command line (maybe as root user) and then the problems started to appear?

Have you tried to reinstall from scratch following strictly the confluence instructions?

Maybe file/directories permission problem?

What about the freeswitch.log file when fs is hung?

I’ve tried deleting the db files but no difference unfortunately. Starting manually or even just restarting the service works, so I believe the XML is all as it should be. This is my output from systemctl when it’s in this ‘hung' state:

1)      The file system database can get messed up.
a.       Stop FS
b.      You can clear then via rm /export/Apps/freeswitch/var/lib/freeswitch/db/*
c.       Restart FS
2)      If there is an error in the configuration files.
a.       Take a look at /export/Apps/freeswitch/var/log/freeswitch/freeswitch.xml.fsxml to see if there are any errors in XML.
 
You can get more details of start problem via:
                journalctl -xn
                systemctl status freeswitch.service
               
                if you do not get enough details, try starting FS directly and you might get more details via:
 
                /…/bin/freeswitch

Subject: [Freeswitch-users] FS service issues (systemd)
 

Got a weird issue where FS isn’t starting up correctly. Looking at the logs, it appears just to be attempting to restart SIP profiles (and failing), and that’s about it. There’s no socket for fs_cli, and a simple ‘systemctl restart’ fixes it. Anyone had something like this? I’ve tried fixing it with systemd after / requires, but it hasn’t helped. 
 
Here’s my .service file (not sure if this is the issue, I'd welcome any comments / better versions?)
