I have installed the FreeSWITCH version: 1.10.7-release-19-883d2cb662~64bit (-release-19-883d2cb662 64bit) on Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) version. 

'service freeswitch status' command shows freeswitch as running. 

When I run fs_cli command from the server itself ( connecting to 127.0.0.1) I get the following error -> 

[ERROR] fs_cli.c:1691 main() Error Connecting []

I have tried manually creating fs_cli.conf as suggested on the net but it did not help. I read a few places that this could be because IPv4 is disabled by default on debian but did not have any instructions how I could fix this.

I am a newbie to FS so any help would be appreciated.
