ram_sql module do not write sql requests into log file

27 Mar 2016

      Dear All,

I'm quite new to this mailing list and I hope my question will be asked allright and that I will not need to eat my keyboard in order to stop posting in this mailing list;-)

I'm currently trying to make the rim_sql run as I want. It's doing quite OK, but I'm having trouble to use the logfile configuration parameter in the sql configuration. As far I understood, this would log every sql requests in the file given in this argument. Basically I would like to have all requests logged in ${logdir}/sqllog.sql, mainly for debugging purpose.

Unfortunatelly this is not working at all, the attribute is configured but nothing is written in the log file. I have also tried to touch the file manually in order to have it configured with the correct rights.

I'm using following environment:
CentOS 7
FreeRadius 3.0.4
Postgresql 9.2.15

When starting the server in debugging mode, it tells me that the attribute is configured with he file I want the information to be written into:

Is there something I haven't understood with this logfile configuration ?

Many thanks in advance for your help.
