Check what the file ownership is for that certificate - and also check radiusd.conf to see what user FreeRADIUS is running as. Once it drops privileges it may no longer have access to read.
Ah the user/group in radiusd.conf was the problem. root/root seems to work.
I've also got some additional questions as to how difficult it would be to strip down the configuration, hopefully to a few files?
Possible (and fairly easy) when you know what you are doing. If you're just getting started then really not recommended.
Stick with the full default config, check it into git or some other version control, and work your want forward. When things break you can then easily go back to previous working versions.
Cool, that was my plan. Thanks, James
