Chris, you were NOT wrong. It pointed me exactly to the line where I made the mistake.   After correcting it, everything was OK.    :) Big lesson (for (yet to be) a total beginner). Thanks Rgds, Henk

Guys correct me if I am wrong here but, another tip for resolving this problem can by looking in the file:    /usr/local/freeswitch/log/freeswitch.xml.fsxml (this is the compiled version of all the files, this may contain your error... on the line mentioned)

Cheers, Chris
