Sri, ¿it never works ? ¿how did you build your radius ? ¿what's your platform and mysql version ? ¿sis you remember to have mysql-devel (mysql headers) available when you build freeradius ?, it seems to me that the driver is not working.
In the message below "driver rlm_sql_mysq" is a typo (should be mysql) ¿did you make the right configs in your sql.conf ?
hope it helps
regards

Hernan Antolini
