[Freeswitch-users] systemd

[Bote Man]

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.

Nothing in /var/log/freeswitch/freeswitch.log

 

Results of running it at command line below. I’ve tried running it with ‘c’ instead of ‘ncwait’ as well, but it complains about the pid

 

root at voice:/etc/systemd/system# /usr/bin/freeswitch -u freeswitch -g freeswitch -ncwait -nonat -rp

1349 Backgrounding.

FreeSWITCH[1348] Error starting system! pid:1349

root at voice:/etc/systemd/system# /usr/bin/freeswitch -u freeswitch -g freeswitch -c -nonat -rp

Cannot open pid file /var/run/freeswitch/freeswitch.pid.

Something is preventing fs from starting and systemd keeps trying, but
eventually gives up.  Can you start it by hand with the same parameters?
Can you check the freeswitch.log and see if that says anything?

This is my first Jessie install, so trying to get my head around systemd.

I’ve installed from repos, and it all works fine with ‘service start freeswitch’ as I used to use. However, as update-rc.d doesn’t work for starting on boot, I figured this is due to the startup changes in jessie.

So I followed this to the letter:

But no joy:

What am I doing wrong?
