Encountering error when using "radius -X"

[Sallee, Stephen (Jake)]

>1)Before running "radius -X" what all steps should be completed?

... www.deployingradius.com, follow the how to ... and really and I mean
REALLY read the documentation in the conf files ... all of them.  Print
them out in color ... all of them.  Spread them out all over your work
surface, make piles, arrange them in the order they will be processed
in, etc.  This is not a joke, it really helped me make sense of the
program.


>2)what should be the subdirectory structure for freeradius and where it
should be formed in the directory structure?

... assuming you didn't change anything in the compilation command then
on centOS it was in /usr/local/etc/raddb when I installed from source
however this is related to your third question 



>3)which sub directory should I give the "radius -X" command.
... this is really a general linux question, if you cant find the radius
command try " locate radius"  in your favorite shell, if you haven't
rebuilt your locate DB since you  installed then "man locate" will be
your best friend.

 

Alan, I hope it is ok to plug your site, I found it an invaluable tool :

Hi,

I have ubuntu 9.10. Can you please tell me 
1)Before running "radius -X" what all steps should be completed?
2)what should be the subdirectory structure for freeradius and where it
should be formed in the directory structure?
3)which sub directory should I give the "radius -X" command.

I guess these steps might help me nail down why I am getting this error
:
radiusd: error while loading shared libraries:
libfreeradius-radius-2.1.0.so <http://libfreeradius-radius-2.1.0.so/> :
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
When I run "radius -X" under
"/home/kartik/Downloads/freeradius-2.1.0+dfsg/"

Thank you.

Hi,

@Fablen:
I first used "synaptic packet manger" to install free radius as it
synaptic pkt. manger takes care of the dependencies. After insatlling
freeradius through the synaptic pkt. manger I could not find any of the
freeradius subdirectories.
So, I removed freeradius completely again using synaptic manager.

Then I decided to download .tar.gz file from the link that I had sent
earlier and ran:
./configure
make
make install
I just got one error for some particular package, I googled the error
and insatlled "libltdl-dev" package from
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/libltdl-dev
After that everything went smoothly and I did face any error. I am sure
all dependencies were found.

can you also tell me why I don't have "raddb" in /etc/ ?. It makes me
believe as If there something is wrong (which might ot might noe be
true!!)

The /etc/raddb is the default settings. In my debian box, radius files
are in the directry /etc/freeradius/

In general you can get the list of the files from a deb package with the
command line :
$> dpkg -L <name of the package>
Here we have :
$> dpkg -L freeradius | grep etc
/etc
/etc/pam.d
/etc/pam.d/radiusd

/etc/init.d/freeradius
