packages: freeradius vs freeradius-mysql
Hi. I'm using Freeradius 2.1.12 in Ubuntu 14.04 with MYSQL and PhpMyadmin. I install only freeradius-mysql package and so far everything has gone well. However recently I've seen some tutorials where they install both freeradius and freeradius-mysql. I was wrong to install only freeradius-mysql package? what features could I miss? Now when I try to install freeradius package it says to me it is already installed, but, for instance, I can't find the *.cnf files in /certs folder. Thanks for your help

Packages have dependencies. Installing freeradius-mysql will automatically install freeradius as well.

Well but i now have a problem, maybe it's my ignorance, but I've been trying to configure eap-tls authentication http://deployingradius.com/documents/configuration/certificates.html and in /etc/freeradius/certs/ folder (/etc/raddb/certs/ folder in the article) I only find this four files: ca.pem dh server.key server.pem not the .cnf files and else, so I thought it could be the package i installed 2016-01-22 14:38 GMT-05:00 Matthew Newton <mcn4@leicester.ac.uk>:

I don't recall where debian puts them... in any case, you can grab them from the distribution tar file, and manually copy them to /etc/freeradius/certs Do that along with the "Makefile" in that directory, and it should all work. Alan DeKok.
Thanks Alan and Matthew, I'll do that 2016-01-22 16:51 GMT-05:00 Alan DeKok <aland@deployingradius.com>:

The debian distribution package puts the Makefile etc in /usr/share/doc/freeradius/examples/certs/ A package built from the FreeRADIUS source tree does the expected thing of putting them in /etc/freeradius/certs Of course, nobody should really be using the debian/ubuntu distribution packages any more... :) Matthew -- Matthew Newton, Ph.D. <mcn4@le.ac.uk> Systems Specialist, Infrastructure Services, I.T.

Thanks Matthew. Which distribution you recommend me? 2016-01-22 20:04 GMT-05:00 Matthew Newton <mcn4@leicester.ac.uk>:

The server comes with scripts to make Debian / Ubuntu packages. Those should be used instead of the years-old ones from Debian. See the web page / Wiki for instructions on building packages. Alan DeKok.
Hi,

no need to change distro - just dont rely on THEIR package any more ;-) (ie build from source on a build system...make your own package if package needed) alan
