No need to install .9.3. I'd just install 1.0.5 on another system (or to
the same system, but in a different directory with --prefix) and then
modify all the config files so it has the setup you currently use on .9.
Then make sure it works.
I doubt it, but perhaps you'll find that some configuration you have in
radiusd.conf in .9 isn't compatible with 1.0.5 and you need to find a new
way to declare the same functionality. Or maybe you need to use some
switch to configure to enable a module you are using, that was previously
auto-detected.
I predict you'll find that its a smooth transition, but its just good
practice to test it all out before you go and modify your production
system.

Thanks Dusty, i know you were just kidding with me and that's cool :) I'm
just having a bad day hehe. So what i would have to do is set up freeradius
0.9.3 on a different system and then upgrade it as a test and if everything
goes well i should do it on my production system?

I was just giving you a hard time. Its a little longer of a process, but
it will definately save you a lot of time and more importantly a lot of
stress if you do run into issues.
BTW - I am in the process of replacing all our radius servers here too.
So far, I've had no issues with configurations moving between .9 or .93
and 1.0.5. My setup is pretty simple here though.
Good Luck with the upgrade.

Thanks for your reply. Is it really this much work to do a simple
upgrade?
Is there a shortcut?

Hi everyone:
I have been using Freeradius v.0.9.3 for over a year and i wish to
upgrade to the latest version. Can anyone give me detailed
instructions
on how to do this? I use Freeradius in a prodcution enviroment and i
can't afford to mess it up. I'm running Linux RedHat 9. Do i just do
a
./configure, make and make install like i did the first time? If
yes,
won't that overwrite all of my current config files? Thanks!
First, I would recommend setting up a lab machine (you can do it on
your
workstation if you need to) to test that your configs work correctly
with
the new version. Its probably backward compatible, but I wouldn't
just
blindly upgrade on production and hope for the best.
Then you could compile freeradius with --prefix. This will put all
configurations, binaries, etc.. into a certain directory. For
example:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freeradius1.0.5
make
make install
When that's done, cd to /usr/local/freeradius1.0.5/etc/raddb and
change
your files to make it work like it did in testing. Shutdown the
current
radius version and start up the new one with
/usr/local/freeradius1.0.5/sbin/radiusd -X and see if its working.
If
so,
modify your startup scripts to point to the new version instead of
the
old.
