As much as I would like to take your money, its probably not necessary.  
:-)   This is usually a very simple thing to get working.

Make sure the op column is set to ":=" for Auth-Type attribute in your 
mysql db.  This will ensure that the Auth-Type you set there will 
override any previous.  This is definitely one problem your having.  Its 
indicated by this error message in debugging: 

rlm_chap: WARNING: Auth-Type already set. Not setting to CHAP

You must make sure this is fixed and CHAP is being used.  This is the 
first problem to solve.  You can see that next in the auth section its 
trying to use rlm_unix.  That means something is setting the Auth-Type 
to system.  It looks like its getting set to Local also.  Also be 
particular about the ordering of your modules in the Authorize {} block 
of radiusd.conf as well.  These modules are called in descending order.  
This could be the source of your incorrect Auth-Type setting.  Solve 
this problem and write back with any new errors or problems.
