I fixed it in master, and the new 1.6 version is not released yet. You can take a copy of the service file here https://freeswitch.org/stash/projects/FS/repos/freeswitch/browse/debian/free... and install it manually as /lib/systemd/system/freeswitch.service Then, systemctl daemon-reload systemctl enable freeswitch this should work with the latest 1.6 (probably with 1.4 too).

I fixed it in master, and the new 1.6 version is not released yet. You can take a copy of the service file here https://freeswitch.org/stash/projects/FS/repos/freeswitch/browse/debian/free...
and install it manually as /lib/systemd/system/freeswitch.service
Then,
systemctl daemon-reload systemctl enable freeswitch
this should work with the latest 1.6 (probably with 1.4 too).

Ah, there's one more file to install: https://freeswitch.org/stash/projects/FS/repos/freeswitch/browse/debian/free... it should go as /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/freeswitch.conf
Ok, applied this. Did a chown freeswitch:freeswitch /var/run/freeswitch. Started fine with systemctl! Rebooted, didn’t start, and the /var/run/freeswitch directory had disappeared! Did it all again, and now it’s working! Odd, but all’s well that ends well I guess :) Thank you!

It’s a permissions problem most likely. systemd should start FS as root, FS creates any directories and files that it needs, increases runtime priority, and claims ports, then FS drops its own privileges to those specified by the –u and –g switches. It’s worth checking the ownership and permissions of the files and directories that FS has already created (such as freeswitch.pid) to avoid further gnashing of teeth. If you are using systemd, you control processes with the ‘systemctl’ command, not ‘service’. Systemd has the ability to restart FS if it crashes and other useful things so I recommend getting up to speed on it as it seems to be quite robust. Hope this helps.
