You're correct.  I copied files I thought were an original, but had 
already been modified.

This time I did copy the original files over to raddb dir.  I then 
modified sql.conf and changed the username/password to match my user.  I 
then opened radiusd.conf and uncommented every instance of sql.

Then I fired it up and it started fine and made the 5 sql connections.

No need for me to post the configs because they are exactly the same as 
out of the box, except that I uncommented sql in authorize, accounting, 
session, and post-auth.

I have no idea what could be wrong at this point.  What version of mysql 
are you running?  Can you start mysql and query it from the command line?
