Here is what I have,

# ls -la /var/run
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jan  6 00:51 /var/run -> /run

# ls -la /var/run/freeswitch
ls: cannot access /var/run/freeswitch: No such file or directory

I can create the directory manually and give it correct permissions as
required by systemd script.

# /bin/mkdir -p /var/run/freeswitch/
root at jessie:~# chown -R www-data:www-data /var/run/freeswitch
root at jessie:~# ls -la /var/run/freeswitch
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  2 www-data www-data  40 Jan  8 04:11 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 root     root     480 Jan  8 04:11 ..

However, Freeswitch still fails,

# systemctl start freeswitch.service
Job for freeswitch.service failed. See 'systemctl status
freeswitch.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
