FreeRadius doesn't start – using Debug mode


This is pretty quiet when it fails in a module. If you open a browser and do not redirect to the
welcome page then the issue is probably part of the FreeRadius configuration. To run FreeRadius in


debug mode, from root use,


/etc/init.d/freeradius stop
/usr/sbin/freeradius -X

Freeradius 2 with mysql setting ,cannot start by the as error,
