What operating system and what version are you using. I ran into a similar problem with a fresh install of RedHat 8.0 and MySQL with glibc. Aparently when you connect to MySQL via anything but localhost it crashes, so in your /etc/my.cnf file make sure you set your thread stack set to 256K in your [mysqld] section. An example of mine is below.
[mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock server-id=1 log-bin set-variable = thread_stack=256K This could be your problem... ~matt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nils Rønhovde" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 2:53 PM Subject: MySQL connect problem Hi, Is this a rlm_my_sql problem, something else in the radius-server or a problem with my database: Module: Loaded SQL sql: driver = "rlm_sql_mysql" sql: server = "10.122.95.163" sql: port = "15022" sql: login = "radius" sql: password = "radius" sql: radius_db = "radius" sql: acct_table = "radacct" sql: acct_table2 = "radacct" sql: authcheck_table = "radcheck" sql: authreply_table = "radreply" sql: groupcheck_table = "radgroupcheck" sql: groupreply_table = "radgroupreply" sql: usergroup_table = "usergroup" sql: nas_table = "nas" sql: dict_table = "dictionary" sql: sqltrace = no sql: sqltracefile = "/local/net/experimental/radius-sql/var/log/radius/sqltrace.sql" sql: deletestalesessions = yes sql: num_sql_socks = 5 sql: sql_user_name = "%{User-Name}" ... rlm_sql (sql): Driver rlm_sql_mysql (module rlm_sql_mysql) loaded and linked rlm_sql (sql): Attempting to connect to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:15022/radius rlm_sql (sql): starting 0 rlm_sql (sql): Attempting to connect rlm_sql_mysql #0 rlm_sql_mysql: Starting connect to MySQL server for #0 rlm_sql_mysql: Couldn't connect socket to MySQL server [EMAIL PROTECTED]:radius rlm_sql_mysql: Mysql error 'Can't connect to MySQL server on '10.122.95.163' (145)' rlm_sql (sql): Failed to connect DB handle #0 I haven't done anything special in radiusd.conf and mysql.conf except enabling mysql and setting the host:port and connection parameters. The connection works fine when i use the mysql program itself. best regards Nils Rønhovde - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
