(RADIATOR) radiator install

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello -

When you unpack the Radiator-3.12.tgz distribution file, you can 
specify a target directory such as C:\Radiator or C:\Program 
Files\Radiator or whatever directory you wish. The distribution 
contains a large number of text files and subdirectories, including the 
main "radiusd" program which is the program that is run by perl (ie. 
the radius server itself is called "radiusd").

If you unpack the Radiator-3.12.tgz distribution into C:\Radiator for 
example, you can change directory in a DOS window:

	cd C:\Radiator\Radiator-3.12

in this directory you will find the "radiusd" program as well as the 
example "radius.cfg" file and so on.

Radiator is not a GUI-based Windows application, rather it is a 
background utility program that is written in Perl which is executed by 
running something like this:

	perl radiusd -foreground -log_stdout -trace 4 -config_file radius.cfg

hope that helps

regards

Hugh

NB:

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive 
(www.open.com.au/archives/radiator)?
Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
