THAT WAS IT! You were right! Thanks! I turned off selinux and the problem went away. -----Original Message----- From: freeradius-users-bounces+chayes=afo.net@lists.freeradius.org [mailto:freeradius-users-bounces+chayes=afo.net@lists.freeradius.org]On Behalf Of A.L.M.Buxey@lboro.ac.uk Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 3:10 AM To: FreeRadius users mailing list Subject: Re: FW: Install - Freeradius can't connect to MySQL Hi,
Here's even more light:
When I start freeradius by just typing radiusd on the command line, it connects to MySQL ok. But if I start it like I'm supposed to: service radiusd start, it doesn't. I'm using Fedora 5 with the latest freeradius.i386, freeradius-unixODBC.i386, and freeradius-mysql.i386.
sounds like SELINUX might be paying your processes a visit. I'd check the system logs to see if selinux is getting in the way. alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
