(RADIATOR) install radiator to a separate /opt directory

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Tariq -

Most of your questions have been discussed previously on the mailing 
list, so you should really check the archive first:

	www.open.com.au/archives/radiator

You can run as many different versions of Radiator simply by keeping 
them in different directories and doing a "cd" to the correct directory 
before running Radiator there. On my system I use 
"/usr/local/src/Radiator" like this:

TiTi:/usr/local/src/Radiator hugh$ ls

Radiator-3.7.1          Radiator-3.8            Radiator-3.9            
Radiator-3.9.tgz
Radiator-3.7.1.tar      Radiator-3.8.tar

TiTi:/usr/local/src/Radiator hugh$ cd Radiator-3.9

TiTi:/usr/local/src/Radiator/Radiator-3.9 hugh$ perl radiusd 
-config_file /the/path/to/your/radius.cfg .....

You can of course use whatever directory setup you wish.

In the "radius.cfg" configuration file you specify DbDir and LogDir to 
wherever suits.

You can set up the configuration files to use GlobalVar's for directory 
locations and pass them in on the command line.

regards

Hugh

NB: have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
