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.
b. You can clear then via rm /export/Apps/freeswitch/var/lib/freeswitch/db/*
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:
systemctl status freeswitch.service
if you do not get enough details, try starting FS directly and you might get more details via:
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?)
