i did. it stated to edit the /etc/config/freeswitch. Here is my config:

config freeswitch 'general'
        option enabled '1'
        option log_stderr '1'
        option log_stdout '1'
        option options '-nonat -np'
        #option term_timeout '10' # seconds to wait after sending TERM signal

config freeswitch 'directories'
        option cache '/tmp/freeswitch/cache'
        option db '/tmp/freeswitch/db'
        option log '/tmp/freeswitch/log'
        option recordings '/tmp/freeswitch/recordings'
        option storage '/tmp/freeswitch/storage'
        option temp '/tmp/freeswitch/temp'

config freeswitch 'hotplug'
        #option interface 'wan'
        #option mount_point '/mnt/usb'
        option ntpd '0'
        option timeout '60'

and we would know this how ?

looks kinda important, doesn't it ?

13

Is the control socket on port 8021 open? Is it listening on something other than 127.0.0.1 or being blocked by the firewall ?

It looks like you are missing the main configuration file, /etc/freeswitch/freeswitch.xml
