Hi,
Just starting with freeradius. I'm confused about installation directories. I'm trying to install freeradius on debian stable. When I install using apt-get (installs 1.0.2 currently), I get freeradius installed in /etc/freeradius. When I install the same version using the tar.gz it gets installed in /usr/local/etc/raddb/ Why is that? The docs show me that /etc/freeradius is the new installation dir. If I want to use the tar.gz and compile myself, do I have to change the dir's by hand or is there an easier way to do this? I've looked into the debian directory in the tarball, but it doesn't learn me anything about this. Can someone point me to the right direction?
Take a look at the file debian/rules in the tarball. It is the Makefile for building debian packages from the tarball. Several options are passed to ./configure to make it install various directories in their various places. That should give you a start. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | I'd be a poorer man if I'd never seen | | steve@lobefin.net | an eagle fly. -- John Denver [I saw | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | an eagle fly once.
