I can not figure out why when I try to run the freeradius server it will not start. I always end up with the same error. Railed binding to authentication address * port 1812: Address already in use /etc/raddb/radiusd.conf[240]: Error binding to port for 0.0.0.0 port 1812. I've also had to other errors when i comment out the $INCLUDE sql.conf file. So there must be something wrong with my set up. Below is the code executed to run the freeradius server, maybe someone can understand it more than i can Code: [root@radius tmp]# radiusd -X FreeRADIUS Version 2.1.7, for host i386-redhat-linux-gnu, built on Sep 18 2009 at 10:59:17 Copyright (C) 1999-2009 The FreeRADIUS server project and contributors.

i have the same problem, so i can't add my hotspot user. my yfi hotspot manager keep said error occured when i click add user please someone help sorry my english is poor
maybe freeradius has already started you are trying to running in verbose mode but the normal mode has already started. try to kill the normal mode first, find the pid of the normal mode process type "pidof radiusd" youll find the pid number then type "kill -9 [pid number]" after that u can start command "radiusd -X"
Freeradius is already running. you can try this code "killall radiusd" or "killall radiusd" and try again. You should stop the debug with Ctrl-C. If you just close the ssh session radiusd will continue running.
