(RADIATOR) radiusd re-start so often

[Utku Er]

  I have nearly the same problem... I am using radiator 3.0 on linux 2.4.7-10, redhat 7.2 with freetds to connect to SQL database on win2000.. It works fine but it goes down without any error messages... 20-30 times a day. I have trace 4 open in my config. I see every kind of packet coming and going but it does not write anything to the log before it goes down...  I wrote a script to restart it AND it mails me the latest 100 lines of log before it starts it again... I search every one of that mails and I see it only get stuck with the SQL queries... I debug also the SQL and see some requests are delayed for 1 (max 1.4) seconds... 

 I am suspecting this: my radiator makes 2-3 (sometimes more of course) sql requests per second. and there are also cgi scripts for the call center people for the auth test and session database and see accounting on the same machine... When SQL database fails to respond in 1 second, radiator receives 2-4 more requests... Then the process is dead... so this may be a buffer problem? how many packets can radiator can handle within its buffer ?

I can send the configs and tail -100 of trace4 log for all the radiator death incidence.. but it wont help because there is only a sql query as the last line ;-)

what do you think?
thanks in advance...

  Hello Lin -

  You should check a trace 4 debug from Radiator and the error message as 
  reported by restartWrapper to find out what the problem is.

  If you still have trouble, please send me a copy of your configuration file 
  together with the trace 4 and error messages mentioned above. I will also 
  need to know what version of Radiator you are running, and what 
  hardware/software platform you are using.

  regards

  Hugh
