Hi, what svn revision are you using right now?
I had a very similar problem with revision 10336. Freevo started and stopped directly again without any error message and without any hint in the log files. I found that this was because of an mistake in my local_conf.py (Syntax error). But the problem was that the error trace of that mistake has been lost somewhere in freevo and was never shown to me, as the user (see bug tracker 1886624: "silent dead if error in local_conf.py"). In the current svn revison this is fixed. Maybe that fix helps you...
