Re: Mystery of mysql.sock location in FreeRADIUS
You can set the environment variable MYSQL_UNIX_PORT as follows: export MYSQL_UNIX_PORT=/usr/mysql/mysql.sock I'm not sure why the freeradius mysql client doesn't check my.cnf, but I had the same issue and solved as above.

I would suggest tracing the open() calls of the freeradius to check which my.cnf file is opened by the mysql library used by the sql module. Yes, I am sure I configured the my.cfg correctly and that is why my Windows based ODBC connections work. I also searched my entire HDD for other instances of my.cfg, but I only have one copy. It seams to me that freeradius may be reading the mysql.sock info from somewhere else, but don't know where? As far as tracing the open() calls of freeradius, is there anything else I need to do, other than running radiusd -X? _ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/ - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Now, I can not figure out where in my system is a reference to '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.socke It is not in radiusd.conf, or sql.conf. Any ideas? well if you cant still find answers, you can try creating a soft link FROM /var (where the sock file is being created) TO /usr (where you want it to be), its not the proper mysql solution but its an approach that works! //milver - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
