Freeradius systemd radiusd.service fails

Hi everyone,

We currently using freeradius version 3.0.11 and it is compiled to work
with oracle db and everything is fine and smooth when running the service
using radiusd -X or radiusd.

Once we start the service using systemctl start radiusd.service or
systemctl restart radiusd.service then we receive the below error:

"Job for radiusd.service failed because the control process exited with
error code. See "systemctl status radiusd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for
details."

We figured out that the sql module in the mods-enabled is causing the
service to not start using the systemctl start radiusd.service. As soon as
we remove the sql linked file from the mods-enabled, we surprisingly are
able to run the systemctl command!

We checked many articles about this error,  some users mentioned this is a
file permission issue. We tried to change the sql module permission to
root.root or root.radiusd but all was failing.

Any ideas?

Thank you
