Hello,

New subscriber and having some trouble with new install, very basic so far.

Question 1

All documentation refers to commands run  from  “/etc/raddb” that doesn’t exist  install on Ubuntu 12.04 created “/etc/freeradius”.

Not a big issue just a curiosity.

Question 2

Running “/etc/freeradius/freeradius –X” I get error “failed binding” I’ll paste entire output (long) below.

Failed binding to authentication address * port 1812: Address already in use

/etc/freeradius/radiusd.conf[240]: Error binding to port for 0.0.0.0 port 1812

If I run radtest with the test user I get access-accept from for local host so it appears the server is basically working:

tutqa@tutqa-P380:/etc/freeradius$ sudo radtest bob hello 127.0.0.1 0 testing123

Sending Access-Request of id 95 to 127.0.0.1 port 1812

               User-Name = "bob"

               User-Password = "hello"

               NAS-IP-Address = 127.0.1.1

               NAS-Port = 0

rad_recv: Access-Accept packet from host 127.0.0.1 port 1812, id=95, length=20

Full output of debug:

tutqa@tutqa-P380:/etc/freeradius$ sudo freeradius -X
