FreeRadius Fresh installation 3.0.23 "${dialect}" Reference "${dialect}" not found

[Pizu]

Hi,

Yes vm I have no issues. Live setup is on same os version and same
freeradius version.

Physical server I have issue, tomorrow I am going to try a
different physical server as the current one is old and cannot install esxi
on it, it's not supported.

Will keep you all updated.

Thanks & Regards
