Hi, Thanks for the quick answer. I removed nohup.out and its not throwing that error. But now it is throwing this error. It would be great if you can point out the solution. ############################################### bash-3.00# tail nohup.out simul_verify_query = "SELECT radacctid, acctsessionid, username, nasipaddress, nasportid, framedipaddress, callingstationid, framedprotocol FROM radacct WHERE username = '%{SQL-User-Name}' AND acctstoptime IS NULL" postauth_query = "INSERT INTO radpostauth (username, pass, reply, authdate) VALUES ( '%{User-Name}', '%{%{User-Password}:-%{Chap-Password}}', '%{reply:Packet-Type}', '%S')" safe-characters = "@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789.-_: /" } Could not link driver rlm_sql_mysql: ld.so.1: radiusd: fatal: rlm_sql_mysql.so: open failed: No such file or directory Make sure it (and all its dependent libraries!) are in the search path of your system's ld. /usr/local/etc/raddb/sql.conf[22]: Instantiation failed for module "sql" /usr/local/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default[161]: Failed to find module "sql". /usr/local/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default[62]: Errors parsing authorize section.

Hi, Hi Everyone,

I was trying to set-up mysql for logging the accounting logs for the users. I followed the instruction on http://www.frontios.com/freeradius.html and also on http://wiki.freeradius.org/SQL_HOWTO. The I tried to run the FreeRadius server. It did not start and was giving this error as given below, ############################################################### including configuration file /usr/local/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default including configuration file /usr/local/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/inner-tunnel including configuration file /usr/local/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/control-socket including configuration file /usr/local/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/nohup.out /usr/local/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/nohup.out[1]: Expecting section start brace '{' after "FreeRADIUS Version" Errors reading /usr/local/etc/raddb/radiusd.conf bash-3.00# ################################################################

as Josip has said - you have a file called 'nohup.out' in your sites-enabled directory. this is a special directory that can only contain FreeRADIUS virtual server files (because it basically loads in sites-enabled/* as servers... this file is messing it up. remove it. alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
