Hi my name is Tom and I am installing FreeRadius for the first time.

1.0.2 has security holes. Use 1.0.4

Your MySQL is not running or you have wrong username and pass or no database to connect to or wrong database name.

Question?

Does anyone have a method to trace the connection attempt? MySQL is not kicking out any log info that would help. Read above.

I have confirmed the MySQL server is running, and can connect to databases using PHP & PERL. type mysql -u root -p You will be prompted to type in your pass if mysql is running ok.

MyADMINPHP and Dialup-Admin are installed, configured, and tested successfully for the MySQL server. I just need to get Radius to do the same. Radius.conf & sql.conf are modified accordingly.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
