Hello Wesley -
With the new version of Radiator you can set up a LogMicroseconds logger (requires Time-HiRes from CPAN) that will show you the amount of time that is being taken for each processing step in a trace 4 debug. Most Radiator users tend to use SQL databases for subscribers and accounting.
regards
Hugh

Hi,
I few weeks ago I posted a question about a slow radiator reaction.
I use .db files to hold my users, i have a .db file with about 209.000
users in it, and its about 20MB big. Could that be the problem? That the
file is to big ? Or could it be the old radiator version I use? (1.91)
If the .db file is the problem, is there a way to solve that and keep on
using those .db files?
Thanks. W.

Hello Wesley -
I generally recommend something like the following - the directories shown are what I usually use, but feel free to use whatever suits your particular installation.
Create a directory to store the configuration files, hooks, db files, etc.
mkdir /usr/local/etc/radius
Copy all of the above files to this directory.
cp .... /usr/local/etc/radius .....
Create a directory for the Radiator distributions:
mkdir /usr/local/src/Radiator
Copy the new Radiator distribution to this directory:
cp /tmp/Radiator-3.6.tgz /usr/local/src/Radiator
Unpack the distribution:
cd /usr/local/src/Radiator gzip -c -c Radiator-3.6.tgz | tar xvf - cd Radiator-3.6 perl Makefile.PL make make test *** DO NOT DO make install ***
Copy the dictionary file to /usr/local/etc/radius
cp dictionary /usr/local/etc/radius
In your configuration file set DbDir to /usr/local/etc/radius
DbDir /usr/local/etc/radius
Create the log directory:
mkdir /var/log/radius
In your configuration file set LogDir to /var/log/radius
LogDir /var/log/radius
Now in your startup script you will need to add a "cd /usr/local/src/Radiator/Radiator-3.6" before starting radiusd and use the -config_file parameter to pass the configuration file location
cd /usr/local/src/Radiator/Radiator-3.6; perl radiusd -config_file /usr/local/etc/radius/radius.cfg
Doing things this way lets you keep any number of Radiator distributions in a clean and orderly fashion, and switching between them is as simple as changing a single line in your startup script.
This topic has also been discussed several times on the mailing list:

Hi,
I'm currently running 1.91, I want to upgrade to 3.6, is there a way to
upgrade and keep my existing configfiles/hooks/berkeley.db files ?
If so, what is the easy way to do it ? Or is it best to build new configfiles with new features?
Thanks in advance for reply'ing to this post.
Kind Regards, Wesley.
