Well that's not too helpful now, is it?
I'm not too familiar with dialupadmin, maybe someone else can donate
his 2 cents if they had this problem as well. Like I said before, you should
try debugging the problem by taking a look at log files instead of
trying to guess the problem into discovery.
Some thoughts to think about:
- is this working if you run it from console?
mysql -u freeradius -pmysuperpassword radius
- do you have the necessary php mysql package installed?
(php4-mysql or php5-mysql)

Liran Tal.
