Answer 1

There are few reason for this.check one by one.

1. check weather /var/run/freeswitch/ directory exist. if not then create it and give appropriate permission using chmod command.

2. check weather freeswitch user have permission to /var/run/freeswitch/ directory.if not then create it and give appropriate permission using chmod command.

3. check weather there is already any freeswitch.pid exist.if so then delete it.
