Hello,
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.

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-shutdown-sysv.html

Someone else might have more specifics for you.

Hi, and welcome to FreeSWITCH !

You've done everything right, now you only need to tell your system to
run that init script during startup
As root, do this:
chkconfig --add freeswitch
chkconfig --level 2345 freeswitch on

That's all.

Regards,

Raul

You might not wanna start it in level 2... network might not be up yet.

Thanks for all your advices.

I am still struggle to make FS start.

I tried few things included:
chkconfig --add freeswitch
chkconfig --level 345 freeswitch on

I also added a user "freeswitch"

The problem is : if I run "/etc/init.d./freeswitch" manually, it says [OK] like this:
[root@localhost build]# /etc/init.d/freeswitch start
Starting freeswitch:             [  OK  ]

But then I did a "ps aux | grep freeswitch" it doesn't show FS running.

I am not a script guru. If I run FS from commandline as root:
 /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch
then I can see FS running.

What did I missing here?

Ah yes, my mistake, thanks for the correction Brian.
