Hi Alan, I am using free radius Server 2.0.0 with mysql 4.1.2. I want to put the user name and the password in mysql database. I've uncommented all the related statements in radiusd.conf and sql.conf, but it doesn't work.Please tell the database schema structure that I should created in mysql and how can I know that my radius server is connected with database for the testing purpose. Please tell me the basic modification that is should do in radiusd.conf and sql.conf. I am enclosing the statements displayed in debugging mode: [root@adore raddb]# radiusd -X FreeRADIUS Version 2.0.0, for host i686-pc-linux-gnu, built on Jan 29 2008 at 12:25:11 Copyright (C) 1999-2008 The FreeRADIUS server project and contributors.
