Your script at /etc/init.d/freeswitch is probably not referenced anywhere in your init sequence. You should read some documentation on the boot process for your system, which is probably something like this: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/ref-guide/s1-boot-init... Someone else might have more specifics for you. --Stephen On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 12:19 PM, Dyna Guy <dynaguy@gmail.com> wrote:

I am a newbie to FS and I want learn it. So I setup a Centos 5.2 (fresh install) and followed the instruction on the wiki installed the new Freeswitch v1.0.3.  After the installation I can start FS by issus command "/usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch".

After that I copied freeswitch.init.centos5 to /etc/init.d/freeswitch and chmod it to 755. Reboot the server and FS is not running.

If I try the start up script: [root@localhost build]# /etc/init.d/freeswitch start Starting freeswitch:                                       [  OK  ] [root@localhost build]# /etc/init.d/freeswitch status freeswitch dead but subsys locked Did I miss somthing here? Please help. Thanks a lot.
