add perl to the accouting section in whatever virtual server you are running, enable the accouting part in the perl config (in experimental.conf) and ensure you have an accounting subroutine in your perl module

alan

Hi, I am a new user in freeradius and this is my first time that I am configuring freeradius. As advice by Alan I've done all the possible steps to activate the accounting section. These are the things I've changes 1. I've added an entry "perl" to the accounting sub section on default file. 2. Entry included of perl { } in module { } sub section in radiusd.conf. 3. And I already had an accounting sub module in my perl script. Unfortunately I didn't found any execution of my queries (start_accounting_query and stop_accounting_query), please tell me the simplest way of how to test my accounting queries to make it work. or please provide me the simplest accounting query to check the accounting module if possible. *here is the log output when it runs in debug mode* FreeRADIUS Version 2.0.3, for host i686-pc-linux-gnu, built on May 7 2008 at 16:45:53 Copyright (C) 1999-2008 The FreeRADIUS server project and contributors.
