I think the prefered method is: apt install foo but that is being pedantic.

How are you attempting to edit the file? What text editor are you using?

Any idea ?

Debian packages up the daemon as "freeradius". You can execute: freeradius -X
Also I ignored to install MySql and considered it is installed as part of " apt-get install freeradius" ?
Start with a base config and edit things after you've verified the basics are working. -m

hi,
Thanks Matt , I am using vi to edit.
and you know how to use vi? if so, then its probably your TERM environment or shell thats messing things up - freeradius is not involved in editing files...even its config files...thats all system stuff. if you dont 'vi' then use nano or emacs etc alan

This is nothing to do with FreeRADIUS. You need to make sure your system isn't broken and the editor is working. The list strips most images.

Debian/Ubuntu packages use "freeradius", not "radiusd" (as you used above). So it's `freeradius -X` instead.
Also I ignored to install MySql and considered it is installed as part of " apt-get install freeradius" ?
Installing FreeRADIUS won't install MySQL, you need to do that yourself. Installing the freeradius-mysql package will pull in the MySQL client libraries, but you'll still need to install the MySQL database somewhere (which may not even be on the same server). Get FreeRADIUS working *without* MySQL first, though. -- Matthew
