Hi,

I have been looking at sql.conf, but no use.. I use localhost, usual port,
username and password are okay.. and this is what freeradius says to me now.

Info: rlm_sql (sql): Driver rlm_sql_mysql (module rlm_sql_mysql) loaded and
linked
Info: rlm_sql (sql): Attempting to connect to root at localhost:/radius
Info: rlm_sql_mysql: Starting connect to MySQL server for #0
Error: rlm_sql_mysql: Couldn't connect socket to MySQL server
root at localhost:radius
Error: rlm_sql_mysql: Mysql error 'Can't connect to local MySQL server
through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)'
Error: rlm_sql (sql): Failed to connect DB handle #0
Info: Ready to process requests.

But according to my new mysql datadir location ( and my my.cnf file ) - the
socket can be found at /data/mysql/mysql.sock... shouldn't freeRadius find
out the new location? How is this done anyway? 

Any hints? I would be thankful !

Regards,

Edvin Seferovic

  No.  See "sql.conf".
