Hi my name is Tom and I am installing FreeRadius for the first time. Specifications: OS: Fedora Core 4 Linux Kernel 2.6.11smp Freeradius version : 1.0.2 MySQL version : 4.1.11 DEBUG Info: Mon Jul 11 14:05:01 2005 : Error: rlm_sql (sql): Failed to connect DB handle #4 Mon Jul 11 14:05:01 2005 : Info: rlm_sql (sql): There are no DB handles to use! skipped 5, tried to connect 1 Mon Jul 11 14:05:10 2005 : Info: rlm_sql (sql): Trying to (re)connect unconnected handle 4.. Mon Jul 11 14:05:10 2005 : Info: rlm_sql_mysql: Starting connect to MySQL server for #4 Mon Jul 11 14:05:10 2005 : Error: rlm_sql_mysql: Couldn't connect socket to MySQL server root@localhost:radius Mon Jul 11 14:05:10 2005 : Error: rlm_sql_mysql: Mysql error 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)' Question? Does anyone have a method to trace the connection attempt? MySQL is not kicking out any log info that would help. I have confirmed the MySQL server is running, and can connect to databases using PHP & PERL. MyADMINPHP and Dialup-Admin are installed, configured, and tested successfully for the MySQL server. I just need to get Radius to do the same. Radius.conf & sql.conf are modified accordingly. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Tom Tinsley Justnerds on SKYPE
