..well, apart from the fact you are supposed to be looking for 18120 as er
the error message...


options 

1) there is already a copy of FreeRADIUS running
2) theres something else running on that port  (use lsof or netstat -an)
3) you have 18120 defined twice in the config
4) you dont have permissions for that socket - selinux might be blocking
