I'm receiving the following error: # Instantiating module "files" from file /etc/raddb/mods-enabled/files files { filename = "/etc/raddb/mods-config/files/authorize" Unable to open file "/etc/raddb/mods-config/files/authorize": Permission denied } /etc/raddb/mods-enabled/files[9]: Invalid configuration for module "files"
For /etc/raddb/mods-config/files/authorize I tried to make the permissions r-w-x for root and radius group and read for all other users... so 774 but I'm not having any luck getting radius to start. When I try to give full permission for testing (777), I get the same error.
Then it's not a FreeRADIUS problem. If the OS says that FR doesn't have permission to read the files, then the permissions are wrong. No amount of poking FR will fix the OS.
Hopefully there is enough information to pin point what's actually going on.
What OS are you using? The default install of FreeRADIUS works on Linux (all variants), *BSD, OSX, etc. So I'm not sure what else is going wrong here. But it looks like something on your OS, and nothing to do with FreeRADIUS. Alan DeKok.
