[lxc-users] Freeswitch refuses to start in Debian Jessie

[Rajil Saraswat]

Hello,

I am trying to setup freeswitch in Debian Jessie. The host is Gentoo
linux running lxc-2.0.9

Error is,

# systemctl status freeswitch.service
● freeswitch.service - freeswitch
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/freeswitch.service; enabled)
