FreeSwitch Start Gives this Error: ==>freeswitch.service failed. See 'systemctl status freeswitch.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details
When I try to start Freeswitch using bellow command :
/etc/init.d/freeswitch
It gives errors:-
[....] Starting freeswitch (via systemctl): freeswitch.serviceJob for freeswitch.service failed. See 'systemctl status freeswitch.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details. failed!
Then I run this systemctl status freeswitch.service command that time it gives me this error:
● freeswitch.service - freeswitch Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/freeswitch.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: start-limit) since Tue 2016-03-29 00:52:08 EDT; 8s ago

Then I run journalctl -xn this command it gives me this error:

Answer
This problem is related to your init script is not working properly. so try below
/usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch
If still problem exist just try to killall freeswitch processes. Then again start the freeswitch
