How do I install or upgrade to freeradius version 3.0.9 on Linux Ubuntu 14.04
Good day, I am new to freeradius and I have failed to install any of the versions after 2.1.12 which currently installs when you run sudo apt-get install freeradius.It has been fine for introduction but now I have gotten to a stage where I need help in troubleshooting and I realise from the site http://freeradius.org that 1.1.x series is no longer maintained.I have tried following some of the instructions on how to install version 3.0.9 and other versions after 2.1.12 but they all fail eventually. I will like to get help on how to successfully install version 3.0.9 on my Ubuntu 14.04.Thank you.
Hi You have to define your problem. What is failing? What is the error message? What's the output of radiusd -X (well, freeradiusd -X for debian/ubuntu)? Version 2 is not compatible with version 1 config, you need to start from scratch Version 3 is not compatible with version 2 config. You need to start from scratch So. How are you installing it? Have gone through your config requirements step by step and what is the actual issue? Alan
Thank you. I later on realised that the new folder was not freeradius anymore,it was now raddb and the installation path was now /usr/local/etc/raddb/. On Thu, Aug 27, 2015 at 10:57 AM, Alan Buxey <A.L.M.Buxey@lboro.ac.uk> wrote:

I will like to get help on how to successfully install version 3.0.9 on my Ubuntu 14.04. Your best bet is getting the source packages from the FR website, you could either convert it to a .deb binary package or not.
Cheers,
Hi Gugulethu,
http://freeradius.org that 1.1.x series is no longer maintained.I have tried following some of the instructions on how to install version 3.0.9 and other versions after 2.1.12 but they all fail eventually.
Ok, when they fail, is there a message? On Ubuntu, run `/usr/sbin/freeradius -X` and see what the error is that it gives you.

I'd suggest that you spin your own packages by using the Debian instructions. Get yourself a VM you can discard eventually to build on (so your actual FR environment stays clean). Matthew Newton on this list has this lovely set of instructions on how to: http://notes.asd.me.uk/2012/01/27/compiling_freeradius_from_git_on_debian/ After that's done, copy the .DEB files off your build VM to the machine you're installing FR on, then install the .DEB files with apt-get. If you're not sure about the error, capture the output of the freeradius -X command and post the whole shebang on here; it's easier to figure out why things don't work then. :-) Stefan Paetow Moonshot Industry & Research Liaison Coordinator t: +44 (0)1235 822 125 gpg: 0x3FCE5142 xmpp: stefanp@jabber.dev.ja.net skype: stefan.paetow.janet Lumen House, Library Avenue, Harwell Oxford, Didcot, OX11 0SG jisc.ac.uk Jisc is a registered charity (number 1149740) and a company limited by guarantee which is registered in England under Company No. 5747339, VAT No. GB 197 0632 86.
