Hi,

I've just installed "freeradius" in another linux PC running UBUNTU as my old linux PC has some issues. In this version of "freeraius" I have to run command "freeradius -X" (rather than "radius -X"). The output shows an error message of

Failed binding to authentication address * port 1812: Address already in use
/etc/freeradius/radiusd.conf[240]: Error binding to port for 0.0.0.0 port 1812



What is the reason it is not working?

Cheers,
