  sqlite is an embedded database.  It can only have one writer at a time.

  If you want multiple writers to the same SQL database, use a database which supports multiple writers.

  That error is from FreeRADIUS.  It tries multiple times to write the data to SQL.  If FreeRADIUS can't connect to the SQL database after multiple retries, it prints that message.

  Use a database that supports multiple writers.  Or, if you need to use sqlite, ensure that only FreeRADIUS is using the DB.
