Why is the upgrade documentation is missing from the website??
Hello list, First of all I wonder why is the upgrade documentation missing from the site: http://networkradius.com/doc/current/upgrading/ I have found a copy of it here but not all pages: https://web.archive.org/web/20150608212504/http://networkradius.com/doc/curr... Right now I still trying to rewrite old Freeradius 2.X configs to work with Radius 3. I didn no start from scratch because in my case there are bunch of configs, sql statements etc which was not written by me and it is not feasible to rewrite them from scratch. I stuck with this error for example: # Loaded module rlm_sqlcounter # Loading module "dailycounter" from file /etc/freeradius/sql/mysql/counter.conf sqlcounter dailycounter { /etc/freeradius/sql/mysql/counter.conf[48]: Configuration item "sql_module_instance" must have a value /etc/freeradius/sql/mysql/counter.conf[48]: Invalid configuration for module "dailycounter" Any ideas what's the problem here? Why did you need to change the syntax at all in version 3? What I would like to know the most is: Will it be require to change anything in the database schema or I can just use the old databases what I used with freeradius 2??? Thank you!
Hello,

Isn't that error rather self-explanatory?
Why did you need to change the syntax at all in version 3?
You must be new to the IT sector. Welcome. Products evolve over time, and changes are then either necessary or at least due to not further restrain future development. That's typically what major version bumps indicate. That's by no means a revelation that is limited to FreeRADIUS, you'll find it pretty much everywhere.
Will it be require to change anything in the database schema or I can just use the old databases what I used with freeradius 2???
The default schemata may have changed; and so may the default queries. If you copy&paste the old queries, then they will match the old schemata. I for one do not know if this has unwanted side effects; it would certainly need testing on your side. And then... those schemata will also have changed for a reason. Maybe they bring new things which are really cool to have? Only an in-depth look at old vs. new will tell you if something useful for is in the new version. NB: I for one did keep my old queries and schema at least for accounting, and things work. But YMMV!

Hi,

yes, you really cant do that - the configs are not compatible. if you have any local code/unlan stuff it needs to be updated/reritten for version 3. alan
