First, you read the FAQ[1], then you search through the wiki[2], then
you read through the well-documented configuration files that came
with FreeRADIUS.

Afterwards, you use what you've learned to try to get the whole setup
working.  If/when you run into issues you can't figure out, you search
through the archives for this list.  If your search doesn't turn up
anything useful, you come back to the list and post specific, detailed
questions including configurations that you're using and letting us
know what you've already tried that didn't work (and what errors you
were getting).

Lather, rinse, repeat.  One eventually ends up with a working configuration.
