Hi, I have now more details about this crashed. Here is what i did (I used the FS you compiled as 'minessale"): - Start FS as minessale: su minessale /usr/local/stow/freeswitch_20121130/bin/freeswitch -nonat -rp -nc -conf /etc/freeswitch/ -db /var/lib/freeswitch/db/ -log /var/log/freeswitch Everthing worked fine, NO CRASH!! - Then i tried samething by starting FS as "freeswitch" su - freeswitch -s /bin/bash /usr/local/stow/freeswitch_20121130/bin/freeswitch -nonat -rp -nc -conf /etc/freeswitch/ -db /var/lib/freeswitch/db/ -log /var/log/freeswitch This time FS crashed. According to "strace", we have a permission denied when accessing to /usr/local/stow/freeswitch_20121130/storage/http_file_cache. By changing the rights on "storage" I was able to run httapi without crash with the user "freeswitch" I joined the trace file. Additionnaly, we got the same issue with the compiled debian package: It's looking for its cache in /usr/storage which does nt exist. I would like to suggest to you: - Checking return code when opening a file in "storage/http_file_cache" and log failures. - Fix the build system to create the storage cache with the correct rights - Add in httapi configuration file parameters to set the storage path Regards, Srigo -- View this message in context: http://freeswitch-users.2379917.n2.nabble.com/Freeswitch-is-crashing-when-ht...
