Well I have installed the following things of my sql.The things are the following. rpm -q mysql--it is installed rpm -q mysql-server--it is installed rpm -q mysql-devel---it is installed. These packages were installed from redhat9.But when I start the service Service mysqld start/status it says "mysqld dead but subsys locked.what may be the problem?. Try installing the Mysql rpm separately and then check wether ur MySQL is running correctly or not. Try this tweak,hope it will clear the mess. :
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
authorize { preprocess # counter # attr_filter # eap suffix sql files # mschap }
accounting { # acct_unique detail # counter unix sql radutmp # sradutmp }
and I have not commented the default values.Will make any problem?.
rlm_sql (sql): Could not link driver rlm_sql_mysql: file not found rlm_sql (sql): Make sure it (and all its dependent libraries!) are in the search path of your system's ld. radiusd.conf[14]: sql: Module instantiation failed.
Compile freeradius with MySQL support, or alternatively get a RPM which already have this support compiled into it.
