Ya you must be right. I have'nt configured the file /etc/my.cnf.I saw the file and found that the value of user= was set to mysql. Where as in the sql.conf file I pointed out the following Login = "root" Password = "password".But I don't know how to configure mysql.Does any one have a link to a good tutorial.As I am a newbie in the world of mysql Hi,
Thank you for the reply I think I have compiled free radius with mysql support because I had installed it --with-experimental-modules.Now if I start the sql server by giving the command "mysql -u root -p rootpass radius < db_mysql.sql" then it returns me with the following error
Error 2002: can't connect to local mysql server through socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock (111)
What may be the problem.The following is my radius.conf for "authorize and accounting section
this isnt a FreeRADIUS problem at this point - the above error message is a straight 'mysql cannot talk to mysql server'. check that 1) mysql is running 2) mysql is configured to allow your host to talk to it 3) mysql is configured to allow root account to talk to it - and that the password is correct 4) firewall issues - check that you arent blocking mysql conversations in some wierd way alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
