Hi, I've just set up FreeRADIUS Version 2.1.12, on my Ubuntu. But, I am not able to start a virtual server. [Output pasted below] I checked the certs folder: root@u082e5f1b60d05422f70a:/usr/local/etc/raddb/certs# ls 01.pem ca.key index.txt random server.cnf server.p12 bootstrap ca.pem index.txt.attr README server.crt server.pem ca.cnf client.cnf index.txt.old serial server.csr xpextensions ca.der dh Makefile serial.old server.key It seems to have the dh and random files but I also read that I need to dump some random data into a file named "random" (dd if=/dev/urandom of=./random count=10) I was also told that I need to run "openssl dhparam -out dh 1024" to generate the required dh file, in my certs directory. Do I need to execute these commands? What is the problem? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
